I can paint again! |
I called my dietician and told her I've switched to Isosource 1.5 (a new type of liquid feed for my G-tube) and had been on it for maybe four days. She sounded surprised and asked if she could come over to discuss the change. I said sure, come over after my appointment with Anita.
So,
after I was all loosened up from Anita's osteopathic treatment, Shavonne (the
dietician) arrived and asked me how I was doing on the new feed. I said
except for feeling a bit full i was feeling fine. She asked me how much I
was taking and I said six containers a day, to which she laughed and
said no wonder you feel full you are only supposed to be having 4
containers a day on the new Isosurce! And then we figured out that now I
will be on feed for only four hours a day. Yahooooo!!! I can actually
leave my apartment for longer periods of time and spend more time
painting now. The new lift also helps allow me to paint too.
I'm so happy! I used to be on the feed for fourteen hours a day, then eight, and now four!
It's not total freedom but it's something.
