Quick update

-
wow I have a lot to say, just from the last couple of days alone.  However just sitting up enough to type this is draining all of my limited energy.  So quick update, hoping to just get better from now.  Currently fighting a very bad staph infection from a clot in my central line.  Finally no temp for the first time since Monday, as high as 104.  So I am still fighting as hard as I can, working on physical strength but mentally I am strong! So bedtime for me and javi, hopefully a few more updates soon!!

SURPRISE

  So yesterday, a dana farber Wednesday started off as a typical dana farber Wednesday, a ton of traffic, a lot of attitudes, great people watching, and unfortunately a lot of appointments.  The different part was that the hospital went live on EPIC, still after being at the hospital for over 6 hours I still have no idea what EPIC means, besides new computer systems and large groups of people wearing blue vests that said "EPIC" congregating throughout the hallways of the Brigham and Dana.  As an outsider looking in there appeared to be a great deal of confusion and poor training.  We were running late to the first appointment so we went to the lab at DF before heading over to the  appointment at Brigham, however because of the time crunch the lab actually took us early. SURPRISE HAHA not the big surprise though, guess you got to keep reading:)   We really didn't notice anything different at the lab...

Food your friend food my enemy

So what to do when your fiancé is so exhausted from work and such he passed out on the floor and was asleep in less then 30 seconds, and me exhausted from battling this flare-up, but after multiple tries and treatments nap is a big negative, so perfect time to post. After a very long day, I am drained both physically and mentally, so I have decided to take a little road block, sending us back a little ways.  Back to before I had NG tubes, G and J tubes, back to before when I could eat real food and not rely on TPN( IV nutrition), back to when I could be an athlete, back to when I could be a college student and party without the fear that one sip of alcohol could kill me now because of one of my meds, back to when I was "normal" whatever that means. So I challenge you...... If you woke up tomorrow morning and found out you could no longer eat real food, what foods would you miss the most??  What restaurant would you miss most? If you wok...

A dedicated week

Sorry that I have been a little slacking  This article is a little late due to a very lengthy hospital stay. And so I have taken this moment to educate a little further into tube feeding. Recently I have been having a hard time with my thoughts and feelings and where to go next with this blog, I have had a few people suggest I talk about a typical day for me.  From the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed.  My main concern with this idea, is that from the beginning I have said this blog is not for sympathy and/ or  attention for me, it is meant to spread awareness to others who may have gone through tube feeding, in the past, present or for anyone else that may want to learn more.  I have found a vessel, that can be used to talk about my life and a typical day for a "tubie." When you think of February 8-14, does it mean anything to you?  To most people it is just a regular week ending with the hallmark holiday ...
