Questions about a port

Just so you know Honeyfresh...when a port "flips over" its the tubing inside that is flipping back and fourth placing itself in another area of your chest...that happens and it will cause it to flush but not have a blood return. They can check it by taking an x-ray. Unless the actual port itself has flipped ever..but I've never heard of that happeneing.

Thanks for explaining that I was a little scared when I heard flip over. I go in tomorrow morning to have them look at it, I just hope its something that can be easily fixed if anything has to be done at all.
