he is experiencing a lot of pain. they told him he could eat normally after and he did and the pain was almost unbearable. He had liqiud food from his dinner leaking, and i almost did the 911 call, but doctor called and said he just ate to much(by mouth) and too soon. We have a full day of appts at VA hospital tomorrow, so we will get it figured out. Les has a high tolerance of pain, and almost couldnt take the pain. really scared me. Its been 4 hours since he ate and is just now able to lay down in the bed. I am a good cook too. Had his faves: meatloaf,mashed potatos,gravy and milkshakes. My husband is 5 ft 9 in and 190 lbs, and can still eat pretty well. This was a horrible procedure for him, but tomorrow is another day and it will be brighter. His surgery was at 2pm, we left the hospital at 5pm, and they gave him no pain meds. I am scared to even try to feed him through the PEG, but will get answers tomorrow on why all the pain. He is now resting comfortably, hopefully I can too!!
