Gosh, this is interesting about the fat globules! I wonder if that's why sometimes my draw is so slow to start and then suddenly will start a gusher! I'll have to ask my nurses if they've ever noticed the fatty stuff. I do watch my diet, but am overweight so it's a thought.

Anyway, I digress. I love my port, have had one going on 5 years now. It does stick out a bit, mine is about the size of a quarter. I rarely get any numbing agents, it just doesn't hurt that much. If a nurse happens to bring some along I let them use it, more for them than me as I think they feel better if they know for sure they're not hurting me!
