I was called in by my Dr's office on Monday after my ordeal over the weekend. They wanted to see how I recovered and to get me refilled.

, sometimes there's swelling after a fill" hell I knew that but this had never happened before!! She also said NPO until this afternoon, then try sippin water. I repeated everything for the second time and included, Ma'am I have not even urinated at all today!
Something needs to be done now. She says give it time.....I sat up for a while then went to bed with my basin, after 3 hrs I get up and call her again and she agreed to meet me at the ER in 2 hrs. She first asked several questions including,,,do you know what type of needle they used?
I was like okay, she has never done this before. After about 30 mins she arrived and we got the job done!! She actually hit the port the first time! 
I asked her to remove 1.5 cc (1 cc was added Fri) and there was

1) I'm a very difficult stick, my port sits "cock-eyed" 2) we're under a hurricane watch (Hannah), and everyone was rushing to get patients in and out 3) I felt like I may have drank too much because I was still sipping vitamin water as well. Since being home I have tried chicken broth twice without luck.
GO ME!!
