Today is day 3 since Dean had the Peg tube procedure. I think, I hope, I pray, that life is beginning to resume some assemblance of normal. He is still experiencing some pain/discomfort around the tube site but I think that is to be expected. He did have a good nights sleep, isn't running any fever and his b/p seems to have come back to normal.
Now the next lesson for me - he takes about 15 pill daily, half in the AM, half in the PM. I've bought two pill crushers and neither one seems to do very good. I believe the manufactures put coating on ALL pills these days. Any suggestions on how to get these to disolve? I've talked to the pharmacist and was told which ones I could crush. The thing is, they don't seem to really disolve completely in warm water. I've called our primary doc this morning to go see if any of them can come in liquid form. Will see what he says, meanwhile, Dean is back to trying to take them by mouth and choking.
Can anyone give me some suggestions?
