Just a little note to everyone who has been wondering where I am and/or who I owe emails too…
The past few days have been a bit blurry but I have been quite sick and over the past couple of days… have been unable to keep anything down and uhm i’ve had some other problems i don’t want to announce here in public *shrugh* but my stomach doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do anymore… and for one it’s taking too long to empty its contents…that is if it does that at all :-S
…but anyway… this morning i got a Percutaneous Endoscopic Jejunostomy or PEJ-tube… a feeding tube that is put inside an outer tube which goes to the stomach… The inside tube goes into the small intestine … yuck… I don’t remember anything from the procedure even though I was awake while it was done… that’s good I suppose… and at least I won’t have to have the ng-tube stuck at my face anymore…
*huge hugs* you’re so brave gab. keep staying strong like i know you can
it was good to see you at chat. hope you’re resting though.
take care

glad to hear you’re managing with all of this….
things will get better, I’m sure 🙂
processes aren’t always easy, are they?
love you! *hugs*
take care, get well.
getting used to it yet? i hope it’s better than the other… any idea for how long? i know it’s an indefinite tubing… so i guess that’s a stupid question.
uhm yeah i’m kinda getting used to the tube now… it doesn’t bother me as much as the NG-tube at least… but i still hate it
I’ll probably have to have another operation though and get a j-tube which will totally bypass my stomach… but that wont happen until i get a bit more stronger or put on more weight… so there is no time set on that yet…
