I have an appointment on Wednesday to get measured for a new button and if they have the one I need in stock, they will place it. I will most likely be sedated and stay overnight due to the events of my last procedure. This will all be done via Interventional Radiology. I am hoping for the best as this current tube is continually infected and smelly. I am greatly anticipating my new button and while excited, I’m still hesitant and a bit scared because of what happened last time. I’m sure that everything will go great and that the last time was that 1% of patients with complications.
It has been warm here the past few weeks and I have noticed an increase in GP symptoms. I have read the stories of others and they too, notice changes in their symptoms when the weather gets hot. I’m not sure why this is, but I’m not a fan. I’ve noticed more nausea, fatigue and pain. I’ve been tube feeding more than normal because of all that and am thankful everyday I have that option. I look forward to the fall and winter when the heat settles down and allergies are under control.

Hi Kirb! Awesome blog and I hope the new button works perfectly! Nutrition and exercise are extremely important as you already know! I know the warm weather has been an irritant, but you have to admit Seattle is having some nice clear sunny weather, which is nice for a change.
I will keep in touch! Keep up the great fight! You are a winner!
🙂
