I get to experience what I like to now call my first feeding
tube blowout. I wake up in the middle of the night soaking wet. I panic at
first thinking that the tube has completely come out. I turn the light on and
find out that the feeding tube has not come out of my stomach but has
disconnected from the tubing that is connected to the machine that pumps the
food. So in this process of becoming disconnected, the tube feeds have
continued to run all over my bed and my actual tube has leaked intestinal
contents all over me as well. Talk about disgusting.
So I have to get all re-connected and change all my bedding
in the middle of the night. Not a pleasant experience. Not only does this
happen once, but a few nights later it happens again! Same exact sequence of
events. Now I use tape every night to secure the connection so it doesn’t happen
again…hopefully!
