Surgery- port replacement
On April 26, 2019 I had my port placed on the left side of my chest this time around. During the procedure the IV ruptured causing the fluids, saline, anesthesia, nausea and pain medication to infiltrate into the tissues of my arm causing it to swell larger than a size of a grapefruit. At the point, the Doctors saw me moving my fingers and toes. I saw a blue drape cover over me. I tried to scream " help me" multiple times, but I wasn't able to speak to them. I was confused at the time but so out of it. I honestly thought I was dead or having a really bad nightmare. Finally, the Doctor and Nurses realized I wasn't fully under.
I am really traumatized from this surgery. My left arm is still recovering. The Doctor told my mother that I probably would remember being woken up during surgery and I will not be happy about it.
Attached are pictures below from surgery.
