Potential port failure

:tongue_smilie: Friday I went for my fill under fluro. It was a tough test. Initially the machine failed. Then when Dr. Chiang put the contrast media in the port, and immediately I could see something come leaking out. Then both the doc & radiologist saw it. The radiologist tried to convince the doc that perhaps he hadn't hit the right spot. He had the needle right where it needed to be. The leak just completed to grow. In 3 weeks I went from 3.4 to 2.2 cc's. He filled me back to 3.4 and we will wait to see. It's Sunday and I can especially take my largest pills (not easy when I'm that snug). I do feel some restriction, but it is definitely not where it needs to be. I'm scheduled for 3 weeks, but we will see. After that a short port replacement. I'm not so worried because everything else is intact and without the leak would work perfectly. I really consider that having this failure after 5 years is pretty good. Most implanted medical devices require some replacement/tune up in this period of time.

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
