    had mine out this morning,
    had mine out this morning, just felt like someone taking a stitch out, this was my third tube had the others replaced every 2 months so it wasn't a surprise regarding how it felt, but for the past two days have had a really sore stomach where tube exited body may have slight infection but nothing to worry about, starting to feel normal now my "tail" has gone I feel that I am now well on the way to recovery including eating normally.

    It's out....it's out....it's OUT!!!
    So not too bad, I didn't even cuss or anything. You guys were right...about 30 seconds that brought a tear to my eye, 5 minutes with cramping...and voila! It was over and done with, and I don't have to figure out where to keep it for the day. No more of it getting loose and hubby laying on it...and no more puppy always wrangling to get a hold of it...I am free! :)

    Congratulations!
    It's great to have it over with, isn't it? You'll be surprised at how quickly and easily it closes up too. :-)
