recent hospital visit

I also wanted to add to my earlier comments that I found it strange to be in the hospital for something other than breathing issues, I was not used to that. I actually made that comment to several nurses I had over the week. Oh, and because of that NPG tube, I could not use a BIPAP machine because it made my sore throat dry and the mask hurt my already painful nose, so as my sleep usually sucks while in the hospital, this did not make it any easier.

  1. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! The NG tube can make an already uncomfortable stay even worse. And then not being able to use your BiPAP is too bad. I hope your nose has healed and you're back to using the BiPAP at night.
