You could always put the naughty stuff in more acceptable bottles.

Hahaha, genius!

The manager of the agency came round to see me and said because coffee wasn't prescribed they couldn't do it.

But how did the manager know that you want coffee through the tube?

Under whose directive are the carers giving you water flushes and could this same person not 'prescribe' coffee in the same way they 'prescribe' water?

[LindaB]

Ask one of your medical team to add to your support plan or as Ellie says diet sheet...if its recorded as necessary then carers will be able to give. IMO 👍🏻

That said a very very nice lady has totally ignored the new rule 👍🌹😍😍xx

The manager of the agency came round to see me and said because coffee wasn't prescribed they couldn't do it. They can make, prepare and attach the syringe but not allowed to press the plunger. I'm living in a real life soap! 😭😜🙄😝xx

Just told today that my cares are not allowed to PEG my coffee as it isn't prescribed.

Have the carers themselves refused to do it, did one of them raise concerns about doing it or did it come from management because it's in your care plan?

It could be a safety issue, if the coffee isn't cold.

Your water flushes aren't prescribed, so a Dietitian could draw up, or add in, x mls of (cold) coffee to your daily diet sheet, if common sense doesn't prevail. You could also sell it as part of your laxative regimen.

Good luck 🤞🤞😘😘

Not for taste but for caffeine and sugar.
