I arrived at work at about 12:20 p.m. and left work at little after 5. That’s four and a half to 5 hours which is not bad. Next week I will try on morning. Then I’ll do mornings and afternoons until I figure out how to eat keep my numbers up at work. And then I’ll start full days in the office.

hole
Well, I took the bandages off for the first time and cleaned it up. It only took about two hours. It took this long because I dripped warm water on the blood-soaked bandage as I was terrified of it getting stuck and hurting as I took it off. They had 10 pieces of tape I had to take off first and that took about sn hour as it was stuck to hair when taped.
lunch
Real food without PEG tube for lunch.

OK. I have some unfortunate discomfort where the tube was removed, but think that is to be expected. I still can’t believe there was no pain killers or numbing available! I did ask for some during the first removal attempt. It was actually just a yank it out process. I guess it did spray a bit and must have been gross. I did not watch, as I just wanted it over with.
Glad it is over. Now to keep this clean until it is healed.
peg
I just had a doctor appointment to have the tube removed. They pulled it out! I am home resting now. 😀
Unfortunately I passed out while out processing. Glad Susan was there. She said my eyes rolled back in my head and I started twitching. Hmm interesting. I was then in a room to recover and I started to black out again, but had staff there watching me.
All is good. I’m at home on the recliner resting.
