Blood In My Band...

[K6TYX 8]

Been for my 2nd fill today and I have blood in my band due to the last nurse (not my normal one) hitting a blood vessel during my last fill.

She wasn't too worried about this and said she will change the Fluid at my next fill.

Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem and how did the changing of Fluid go???

I had this once and they did change all the Fluid out and put new fluid back in. After that happened I never look at the fluid. I pick a spot on the ceiling and focus and breath. I hate hate hate getting a fill so much that I will put it off as long as I think I can. I had a bad experience with a person giving me a fill that it gives me alot of axietity (misspelled) and they marked my chart not to have that person do my fill again. My surgeon was nice enough to put my port real deep (not)and they have to use a longer needle and I found that out by someone digging in my belly with a needle too short and that hurt. Then she finally realized maybe she needed a longer needle. I hope that your experiences are going good.

Thanks tnt.... it's not worried me and luckily I was in a position laid that I couldn't see what she was talking about. Nice to know I'm not the only one
