my hubby got his PEG done today. tremendous amount of pain. he says he feels like he has been kicked in the stomach by a horse.
we did not get any "paper" instructions on the PEG just oral instructions.
he is not very happy with the doc that placed his tube, especially since the doc told him he shouldnt be in that much pain. grrrrrr!
he ate (normally) tonite and now some fluid seems to leaking from the tube, should this be cause for concern??
i am headed to the pharmacy to get a syringe to flush it. the doc said to start flushing twice a day starting tomorrow.
again, he is in agony--it breaks my heart to see this--thank GOD he had some vicodin left from his port surgery, since the surgeon today didnt seem to think that he needed any prescription meds.
feeling so helpless....
