So I'm 7 days post op now and crashed last night resulting in a diagnosis of infected and partially collapsed lungs and reinsertion of nasogastric tube
The tube reinsertion was horrible andI vomited everywhere while it was going in
The tube did a good job overnight draining about 600mls from my stomach but I'm really struggling badly with the gag reflex .. i cant drink, talk, move, cough or swallow without gagging ..most times its one gag and im back in control but 3 times now I've not been able to stop gagging and have called nurse struggling yo breathe
If i insist they're willing to remove it but then may have to reinsert if i vomit agsin
My question is what would you do? Live with thr horrible scsry gagging or risk having to go thru it again?
Sorey for typos .. theyre coming soon.for my decision and i dont know what to do
When thr gagging is happening its so scary and each time i think im about to dir snd id do anything to make it stop .. but to have it reinserted again makes me feel awful too
