NG TUBE Problems!

One week before our depature date for my studies and gtube surgery my NG tube decided to clog. My mom called the doc and she said to use Coke to unclog it. We tried that and hey it worked! Then two days later it happened again and it did not matter how much Coke we used it would not unclog…. So dad took mom and I to the airport the next morning and we went straight to the hospital to change the tube. I really hate that tube. You can not even imagine how uncomfortable it makes me. When I have to have a new one put in it is even worse. I did not have anything in my stomach so the doctor would not give me a sedative so I was wide awake when he put the new tube in my nose. I fought him very well. I even tried covering my nose with my hand.  He finally got it in. Mom and I went to the hotel I did not sleep very well. I never do with this tube in my nose. The next morning we flew home. Only 5 more days before we fly back in for my upper GI studies and g tube surgery!
