    Feeding Tube Anyone??

    in INTRODUCE YOURSELF!

    Posted

    I am so glad that everything is starting to move in the right directio for you now!! I had a feeding tube put in for the same reasons. I was very scared at first but soon realized that it was because I didn't really know what to expect. I hope I can put your mind at ease some. I had lost a large amount of weight and had no appetite prior to treatment. When I started chemo and radiation my appetite decreased even more. I knew that if I didn't get the tube I would not make it throught treatment. I got the tube and did all of my feeding at night. It was not a big deal. It took some time getting used to having a tube there and positiioning myself in a comfortable position when I slept. I knew it was temporary and I had to have it. I was very careful about cleaning and taking care of it. It was not a disqusting thing (like I thought it would be). My nutritionist even commented and said that I could be the poster child for feeding tubes. It always looked really good. That tube made all the difference in the world. I have many tips to help after you get it. I even got to the point that I couldn't take my medicine, so we would crush it and put it in the tube. Good Luck and always remember that your nutritional health is so important in fighting this monster.

    I now have a cute little hole where it was.

    GOD BLESS!!

    Tattoo Who???

    My mom waited until she was 63 to get a tattoo. She said,"At this point in my life I can do what I want to do." She got a celtic cross with a rose winding around it on her right shoulder. My little sister got a yen and yang (looks like little sperm). Anyway, I know you will choose wisely.

    My BIL has a cheetah and it looks really cool (it's crawling up his leg).

    Find you niche and develop from there.

    GOD BLESS!

    Wow-that's a tough question. I have spent the last 12 years of my life mentoring music students. The one student I remember most was a young student that was a product of a terrible home environment (very abusive mother), he was taken out of the home and moved in with grandmother and dad who was suffering from AIDS. Needless to say, the young student was full of anger and agression. I took the child under my wing and tried to my best to teach music education, right from wrong, empathy and ambitionand instill good morals. This child was really smart and very determined. I am anxious to see the end result. Also, a truly awesome musician for the age. This was during the student's 7th grade year. The student is now a junior in high school and doing pretty well. One of the best instrumentalist/musicians in the band program.
