Let us know that you have come out of the surgery alright. We all worry about each other and always watch for updates about others when they are having surgery. So please dont forget to get someone to give updates.
If you dont have one, pickup a dry erase board. You may find its easier to write than to talk for a while.
Im not familiar with how a nasal tube works. Davidcpa had one, maybe he can give you some pointers on how that is used.
May you get thru this phase of your life quickly and move on. Best of luck with everything!
