Another complication with my port!

Today a good week and a half or so out a little white 'piece of skin', or so I thought. It was bothering me so gently I used a tweezers to remove it. Just imagine my horror to see (and feel) that it was a heavy gauge stitch. It cinched inside and now is very tender. The nurse at the hospital called back and I have to go back yet again to the city and have it snipped and the opening glued. No need to fast or have any antithetic for it. Infection is a very real threat due to the CVIG low IgA levels bacteria is dangerous. Now perhaps this thing will heal! No wonder...but then again 'it shouldn't' (yes that is sarcasm). "it just happens sometimes..." drat!
