PEG Life III

[jd58]

How do you remove the tube cap has anyone used plastic pliers if on own?

[matthew55]

Make sure that when you've taken it off you put it back gently. Have you tried holding it under hot water?

[Ellie]

Hiya Matthew.

I saw you wrote this in another Thread:

I have had three district nurses who had no idea what kind of PEG I have. I think it's about time I had it changed but I'm only the patient.

As far as I know, you have a standard feeding tube and they don't have to be replaced often (sometimes never) It's the balloon retained tubes and buttons which need to be changed regularly.

How's life?

Love Ellie.

[matthew55]

Well I'm getting older. That's about it 😄x

[Ellie]

And wiser 🙃

[matthew55]

Maybe but what I have planned for tomorrow isn't very wise. 😉x

[Deb]

You can't leave it there Matthew. We need to know what you've got planned.. especially if its unwise, 🤔

[Ellie]

Wisdom is subjective. Do it, enjoy, regret nothing.

We don't have the luxury of ignoring our mortality - that can be liberating though, can't it, in a who the hell cares way 😜

Will we find out about it?

[matthew55]

Well I'm a red blood man and in no condition to start dating again so I have decided to call in a professional. I really hope we are all adults here 😄x

[Ellie]

Oh good for you mate - as I said, enjoy!!

[denise]

Good heavens. Didn't get unapproved either

[Deb]

Well I did ask ! I say go for it too and enjoy !

[denise]

Ok who's gonna ask him tomorrow how it went last night? Suppose all the gnomes will be blindfolded 😁😄😊

[matthew55]

You've just giving me ideas 😉x

[matthew55]

I haven't been this excited about anything since I was a nipper 😉x
