Traumatic Experience

Nov 12, 2009

Well I had that annoying G tube removed today and Thank God it is out, but was an awful experience.  The nurse practitioner came in and told me to take a deep breath, I take one then she tells me to take another and hold, so she goes to rip this think out of my side and this terrible pain goes shooting through my body.  It hurts so bad that I scream out loud.  Then all of a sudden I get light headed, see starts and sparkles and say to her " I think I am going to" and the next  think I know her and a nurse are standing over me saying "Take deep breaths"  WTH, I asked if it was going to hurt and her response was Just a bit of discomfort.  Yeah OK.  Then she is going to tell me that this happens all the time.  People actually pass out from having this tube removed.  I can't believe that they don't warn you or something.  Anyway I just had to write this down so that I remember this one.
