they said a slight infection had started so they were giving me strong meds to nip it quick.
one of the docs mentioned they may do a contrast study to see if tube was still in the stomach ... would there be a way i could tell if it had gone out of there or not or is xray with contrast the only way to tell? the seconde doc said no need to worry right nwow because i am not even using it yet but making me wonder if i should use it before they check this???
