It's been a while since I last updated, I've been quite busy with my cheerleading and some other things. Any way it's been about 2 months since I had my 2nd Portacath fitted, and it was healing nicely, and the first flush went really well.
Then a couple of weeks ago I noticed a bump in the front of my chest, near a little scar. We didn't know what it was so we mentioned it to my outreach nurses and they thought it was a stitch just by looking at it so all was fine! I then had to go for my Second port flush (I have one every month to make sure my port doesn't get blocked) We tried multiple times to get it flushed and in 2 different days, But for some reason the fluid wouldn't go in, and it appears that my port has blocked up already, and it seems like the lump on the front of my chest is apart of the tubing from my port..
It's quite annoying as it has only lasted one lot of IVs, and not even 3 months!!
So I have to get referred back to Manchester to get a new port placed in, My next lot of IVs will be on the 4th August, which means I will have to have a long line placed in my arm! (Which I HATE)
Anyway on a brighter note, I had my last competition of the season for cheerleading last weekend, and we came first and Grand Champions (overall high score!) which was an amazing end to the season! I have also been selected to compete in America, with my new team Rising Stars Storm, we will be competing in Cheersport Nationals, which is a huge competition in Atlanta!
Thankyou all for reading, and as always the continued support!
