Hi my husband had his peg placed yesterday afternoon.
Hospital sent us home with the wrong syringes to fit his port. I went to do a flush as instructed and the tip on the syringe would not fit the port.
His port has inside threads. I had a crying fit, then threw on 2 n95's and went to the ER with pictures of his port. They gave me a syringe with a catheter tip.
I think if I am super careful I can get it to work. My question is if it doesn't can a never used tube go without flushing until tuesday? So lovely to happen on a Friday night, before a holiday weekend. I am so worried I'm almost sick.
