Hello. My PEG tube came out last night and I am on vacation away from home, I'm not sure who to call. Also it is Sunday which causes problems. I know that it must be re-inserted within a certain time before the incision heals. Supposedly it is easy to replace but I don't know how. I assume all doctors office will be closed today as I tried to call mine in Nashville, TN. I am in a small town south of Memphis, TN right now. Any suggestions as I was not prepared for this occurance?
