Peg removal went bad and vacations ruined
I went to the doctor on 3/29 to suposedly discuss removing my feeding tube. She decided that I was doing so well that we would just PULL the tube out! I said excuse me! She said oh yes we do it all the time. I tried to remind her I'm not her typical patient adn she assured me it would be fine. I laid back, she pulled and it broke! She pulled again and it broke a second time doen to the belly and had to put 2 pair of forceps on it to hold it until they could go down the hard way adn bring it up through the esophagus. AS they were pulling it out I woke up gagging adn choking! Once in recovery thepain in my upper abdomen was so bad my husband said they did an EKG to make sure I wasn't having a heart attack. Apparrently they bruised me up inside trying to get that thing out and morphine would not ease the pain so they put me in the hospital to make sure they hadn't damaged anything else. The pain was unbearable adn I thought You know why does everything have to be so hard for {us, we} crohns patients!? I spent 2 days there trying to recoop adn I thought I was ready to go home. Boy was I wrong!!
I need to go call a doctor at the moment as I am plugged again but I'll write more later
