Bloop,

During my hospital stay after my initial surgery my jaw was wired shut however I still had my PEG in. The nurses didn't like where I kept my tube taped so they would pull it to the other side to shoot up meds or food. They eventually pulled it out of my stomach.

They tried to put it back in immediately without success so they shipped me down to xray to get a good pic for replacement. They then had a 2nd or 3rd year resident reinsert it...he needed to cut and I wasn't given a local or any pain meds by this genius. If my jaw weren't wired shut and the nurses weren't holding me down he would've had the beating of his life, verbally and physically.

Make sure they know to sedate and give you pain meds or at least a local.
