After my parents had something to eat, we went on to the next section of the day which was going to the ward where they were going to do my PEG change. Yet more endless corridors of the hospital! We got to the ward where we sat in the waiting room for an hour after we signed in at the reception. The nurse that we saw before was going to do it for us so she took me and my mum to a side ward room and told me to lay on the bed. I wasn't sure what to expect... She told me it would cause some discomfort. I thought I was going to get an injection to numb my tummy area but noooo , she put numbing gel that did bugger all because when she started PULLING (yes literally pulling the damn thing out of my stomach) when I catch it on something at home, it does hurt but that was nothing compared to theexcruciating painof when she was yanking it out!!! I tried to stop her pulling it out but mum pulled me back and I just ended up in tears screaming coz it was so painful coming out! She popped in the other button peg like it was nothing. It was the worse pain since the muscle biopsy! At least this button PEG comes out more easily, hopefully as the nurse says it only feels a scratch when it comes out. It has to be changed every few months to keep infections away but hopefully thats the last of my PEG troubles. I will post a pic of the difference when I get a chance. I felt so much better once it was done, my stomach is now a bit sore but thats to be expected! I'm now going to bed for a longearned rest! NIGHT NIGHT!  |
