[3catwoman3]

37. I am so glad the NG tube is out!. When I saw your previous picture with it in...

...my heart went out to you. I had one for only 24 hours after an appendectomy for a ruptured, gangrenous appendix, and I've never been more miserable in my life. I've had 2 C-sections and 2 hip replacements, and I would happily repeat all 4 of those experiences rather then have another NG tube ever again. I told my husband not to visit me until it was out as I knew I wouldn't be able to pretend I felt OK just to keep him from being distressed by watching how crapy I felt with that damn thing in place.

I hope rehab is going reasonably smoothly.

[LSparkle]

43. Amen! I was never happier than to ditch mine years ago

Worst part of an emergency abdominal surgery I needed.

Prayers that you can rest more easily, Peggy, and maybe eat some real food soon! I still remember how happy I was getting some jello after the tube was removed 😁 ...

[blue-wave]

38. Always glad the good news!!

[LoisB]

39. Yay! Looking forward to photographs from the markets - SOON.

[colorado_ufo]

40. Progress!!!

[Skittles]

41. Ms. Pegster, I HAVE to ask this

does being an ex-nurse make the experience better or worse? I can imagine it going both ways!

[Warpy]

42. Every tube gone makes you feel better

You look pretty damned good already.

And if misery loves company, commiserate with me. I just spent the last 6 days in ICU, myself.

Getting old really sucks.

[AllaN01Bear]

44. yay

[calimary]

I am intimately familiar with them as I have had 4 bowel obstruction surgeries and a couple of illeus episodes. They are absolutely no fun when they are put in.
