Well I am home after a couple of days and nights in the Marsden with the latest in fashion accessories, the naso-gastric tube. Plus bags and bags of tubes, syringes, bottles of feed and a monitor complete with aluminium stand. I will be tubed up for 12 out of the 24 hours a day. I can no longer swallow at all so it is the only way I can get nutrition at the moment. The tube is not painful but irritating. Still I will probably get used to it. I hope when the tumour starts to shrink it can be removed but I think I am stuck with it for at least 6-8 weeks.
I am sore after the PET scan and anxious about managing all this paraphanalia. Still a district nurse will check in on me each day to ensure I haven't accidently throttled myself and the rabbits with it.
The bunnies will have to be elswhere when I sleep as the tube may present an irristable nibble to them. They got through 4 sets of lights last xmas.
