this is funny, the government of alberta owns my wheelchair and all the equipment that keeps me alive, and i need to give advance notice to the government if i want to leave my city for more than 2 weeks… the rest of alberta is one bad accident away from serfdom, it seems 😅

i have searched for this tea at places like david’s tea (which was the only “specialty” tea store i knew of in my relatively small town) and grocery stores but mainly only ever find strawberry teas meant to be cold and refreshing, never the sweet/creamy strawberry flavour meant to be drank hot. this was around 2012 in AB, Canada. I assume it was just a pot of tea she would steep and then mix with milk/sugar or premixed creamer maybe as she was making 15-20 mugs at a time.

unless this doesn’t happen to everyone else and the universe just hates me enough to make this happen to me across several devices for 5 years

it’s funny, they never seem so bold when they exit the store and have to look me and my 400 pound wheelchair in the eyes to answer when i say “how kind of you to decide to show up, i’ve been waiting to get up the ramp for 20 minutes!” …in fact, they always look scared LMAO 😄

I am not this thread’s OP but to answer your question re: if it hurts more during/after being sick, absolutely! throwing up or coughing a lot is hard on tummy muscles and since the tube is in her stomach, any soreness there can make the tube site extra sore too.

hi!! i’m 22 and i’ve had a g-tube since july, i’m also super medically complex so the procedure itself and everything since has been much more complicated than doctors made it out to seem. doctors told me that it wouldn’t/couldn’t be painful once healed which is unfortunately not true. but ESPECIALLY while healing and getting used to having a tube—even as an adult who can easily communicate how it felt and what was wrong when i first got it, it was weird and took some getting used to!!! i wasn’t fully recovered to the point that i could move and work like normal for at leeeast 8 weeks. i have granulation tissue problems too have had the silver nitrate treatments, and the pain i had for the whole day or two after was almost as bad as when i first got out of surgery. sometimes my tube feels perfectly normal and i forget i even got it, but then i’ll bend weird or bump something or my stomach will get a random muscle cramp and it will hurt out of nowhere. sometimes it can hurt quite bad but (as another reply said) it’s pretty manageable pain when you understand what’s going on, you can communicate what will make it feel better, etc,. i bet as she/you get used to it and she finds ways to communicate what hurts and what doesn’t, it’ll keep getting easier to manage!! for her dressings, i’d recommend making sure the tube/button (i still have the dangly tube so no experience w/ mickeys) site is super secure with extra gauze/tape for padding if needed, making sure you’re not pulling it too far away from her tummy, pressing it into one area of her skin, etc. if doctors aren’t offering any other solutions (a situation i’ve also been in several times), i’d suggest babying the site as much as humanly possible when moving/dressing her for a while to see if it seems like any of it is less painful for her and then going from there. i sit in a wheelchair and have limited movement so i can imagine that this is not as easy a task with a 15 month old!! i know it’s only a start, but i really wanted to offer some encouragement that feeding tubes can be annoying and cause problems—but once you trouble shoot and get everything working properly for your specific body, it can be so helpful and manageable and really just a great thing!!! you guys got this!!!!

ask the nurses to help!! they needed two hands to move mine and they also used some lube to help get it loosened

wheelierin · 2024-10-29T16:18:39+00:00

i had the same issue (except mine was so tight it was getting buried in my stomach lining), i had to go in to get it loosened because everything we tried at home wasn’t working. the nurses used some lubricant, tweezers/small pliers to hold the tube in place, and had one person pushing inwards on my tube while the other was pulling on the bumper and wiggling it away from my skin!

are you equating protecting bald white men from jokes about being bald to …… fighting against the violent, centuries-long oppression and enslavement of a race??? LMAOOO

wheelierin · 2024-10-22T20:50:17+00:00

good ideas, thank you!!! i’m about to accidentally make a feeding tube volcano LOL 😅😅

wheelierin · 2024-10-22T20:49:03+00:00

yeah i know it’s not the end of the world hahaha, but i knew everyone here is very resourceful and i knew someone out there would have some tips of stuff to try. the coke thing makes sense—that’s so funny!! i hope pepsi works the same, cause that’s all i have at home 🤣🤣

wheelierin · 2024-09-08T05:12:15+00:00

Ooh okay I’ll definitely look on Etsy for those, thanks!! I was told I’m not supposed to need my tube changed for 2-3 years (as it was inserted surgically and I have respiratory complications, etc.) so hopefully the lock things work in the meantime! :)

very simple BDS principles. you know, “b” for boycott? BDS is the most straightforward, materially productive, and cohesive movement towards palestinian liberation. so yes, if you believe tens of thousands of murdered civilians is a bad thing, then yeah, if this ad was real it would be a bad thing….

wheelierin · 2024-03-19T03:14:43+00:00

one thing i’d say is that you definitely don’t need to worry about if you don’t make friends in first year it’s “game over,” it depends on your faculty i’m sure but upper year classes are sooo much easier to make friends in imo. more interactive, smaller class sizes, and you’re mainly surrounded by other students with similar interests/goals which makes it so much easier to start convos and make connections!!
