I had my first fill yesterday and while they were placing the needle in the port and she had it on the x-ray everything looked good! Then she tried putting in saline, it went in fairly well (she had some difficulty) but couldn't retract any of the saline at all. I guess that is normal procedure to see if they have to take some out they can. So the x-ray tech followed my tubing on the x-ray and my tubing is kinked (Like a garden hose can get kinked). :confused2: So she stood me up on the table and was able to complete the fill that way. She noted in my records I would have to be stood up at all times for fills. And said if it ever becomes a problem they will have to go back in and un-kink me! :biggrin: Sounds like fun huh.... Anyone else have this issue?????
