And I'm off and running

[matthew55]

For the very first time I am having a pump feed and I have to say that once you have seen the video it's easy. 😁x

[denise]

I hope we get the same as you.

[Ellie]

Woohoo!! Which feed were you given?

[matthew55]

2 Cal 1000 ml I have asked if I can get a dairy free version. 😁x

[Ellie]

Do you plan to have the full 1000ml today?

Ruth won't have much to teach you on Monday!

[matthew55]

Yep the whole bottle! I'm experimenting with rates. I'm currently at 350 with no ill affects. 😁😍xx

[Ellie]

350ml/h?? Stomach of steel...

[matthew55]

Er 400 now 😉😁x

Bloody hell Matthew, you don't half push the limits. Did you see the post on my tube feeding thread from David R where the nurse had told him that 190ml/hour was a maximum. Best of luck. I hope tomorrow's news doesn't include a story about a man from Leigh whose stomach exploded. Might make a good limerick. 🤞

[Ellie]

400ml/h, I'd be 🤢

I once had mine at 500ml/h for 30mins after it was programmed incorrectly (in the hospice, not at home) I wondered why I felt so ill...

What's the hurry in getting 2000cals into you?

[matthew55]

Don't forget I am 6'1" and the sort of build that makes people think twice about confronting me. Plus it's the biggest meal I have in a long long time. 😁x

[matthew55]

Just finished it and I feel good which is lucky because I may not in a few hours. Tottenham play Made Up Man City. 😂x

[matthew55]

I half expected that horror show but all I can say is....I get knocked down but I get back up again, you ain't never going to keep me down. 😁x

[denise]

So how do you feel today? A good feed and you might have had a good night or been up with stomach ache?
😊

[matthew55]

No stomach ache and flem extraction at 02:30am Other than that a normal, for me, night. 😁x
