And here I sit blogging. About what? About the fact that I’m off of tube feeds for the first time since the operation!
I’ve been getting a substantial amount of my nutritional needs taken care of by a mysterious pump I used to get hooked up to every night that would dribble some brown stuff into my jejunum. (Oh, go look it up!)
But now, imagine this! I get to try to sustain myself only on what I can take in by mouth. Fascinating concept isn’t it?
Pizzas are good. And fig newtons. And Oreos. Other Patti and Our Friend Sally just ate my bag of pretzels, though. That’s ok…. I don’t need pretzels this late at night.
