Peg Change

Posted Jan 25 2012 9:33am
The nurse came to change my peg today as usual i have it changed every 3 months so i dont get infections. A button peg is much better than a tube peg as you get more infections with a tube one. 
Today the nurse couldnt get it in for some reason as its always gone smothly before!
she had to put a catheter tube in to keep the hole in my tummy open. she eventually got it in thankfully so i didnt need to go to hospital! it wasnt as painful as i thought it would be. But it certaintly scared me the fact that i might have to go back to hosptial to have it open again because the last time i had the peg put in i nearly died!! literally!
