Can you wrap it with clean linen or an ace bandage?

Wait until the morning- nothing will happen until then and your wife can pop out and get some as soon as the pharmacy is open.

Don't have a way to secure it literally nothing sticky at all except super glue....it would take 80 inches of ace bandage to go around my tummy...

Pin the bulb to your underwear and tuck the tubing inside. Nothing will happen till morning. Unless you are my brother they just don't fall out. He is the only person I know who took out his own drain.

I ran out of bandage one night and I tucked my bulb under my boob and it was ok till morning. I held a clean tshirt close to it when I moved to avoid the gunk getting on anything. You will be okay. Especially if it comes out Tuesday!

Wasn't the bulb I was worried about but the entry point where tube is attached didn't want to get it dirty and get sn infection or something.

You'll be ok. It's not absolutely necessary to keep a bandage at the opening. You can tuck the bulb itself in your underwear. The most important thing is keeping the site clean. How are you feeling?
