New port stubborn

On May 2 went to Weinberg's Outpatient Clinic to have the new port accessed and blood drawn. While still someone sore, nurses got both medial and lateral areas accessed. But no blood. Laid down, stood up, coughed, turned head, just about all but standing on my head. Nothing worked. So they shot both full of TPA (kinda rotor rooter fluid to clear the pipes). After 20 minutes, both lines gave blood. Yeah. So I don't have to write my surgeon a nasty note. I had told him to insert a GPS disk so when I'm old an senile Megan can find me. He said they didn't have them yet for people, just dogs/cats. Bummer.
