This is the 3rd day since the Gastric tube removal still very sore abdomen, but greatful it has been removed the pain has improved, I’am able to sit with more ease and able to take a deep breath without discomfort. Walking is easier as well, my J-tube(feeding tube) is still uncomfortable but tolerable. On Tuesday we had an episode of vomiting which we came to the conclusion that is was the Miralax which is to help with constipation we had a similar nausea problem a few days before with the Miralax so that has now been discontinued. Thank goodness, that was miserable and made the muscles in my stomach more sore. Dr. Dunn mentioned that if you are going to vomit you won’t have much warning and up it will come, boy was she right. There was only one long episode of vomiting and then it passed other than being tired afterwards the nausea was minor and I was back on track the next day. Cream of wheat, and a piece of toast for breakfast, later yogurt, chinese food with consisted of rice noodles and chicken with snow peas, Not Bad !! Dr. appt. Monday, to do lab work if the labs come in with improved protein levels then the J-tube will be pulled, if not may end up going home with the feeding tube intact and continue of tube feeds at home. I will see Dr. Dunn on Tuesday for the final, I hope doctor’s appt. Yes, believe it or not they are really considering sending me home.. Thank you for all your support and prayers !
