Darcy’s Blog: A Feeding Tube Challenge

  • 09. Feb. 2021

  • Feeding Tube, Guest Column

Gunnar has asked me to write a blog with my feeding tube recipes for a few years now, but it never felt right to me. After all, I’m not a dietician or nutritionist, so who am I to suggest what people pour into their gullet? But this week is feeding tube awareness week, and as...

I Was Told I Would Only Need My Feeding Tube for a Few Years. It’s Been 9. What Happened?

  • Feeding Tube

I wasn’t exactly happy when I had my feeding tube placed in 2011, but it was necessary. I was drastically underweight and I couldn’t put any pounds on the old fashioned way. In fact, I was so distraught over the thought of putting a tube in that it took a bout with pancreatitis to convince...

via GIPHY In the wee hours of last night, my feeding tube bag ripped. In my 9 years of using a feeding tube, I have never had a bag rip, but last night I did. Quite frankly, I didn’t even know the bag could rip. I guess you can call me naïve. The rip resulted...

Gunnar asked me to write a blog for #feedingtubeawarenessweek, and since I mostly write about CF as it relates to dating/relationships, I thought it would make sense for me to write about how feeding tube stigma might impact dating and relationships. The thing is, I can’t, because I love his feeding tube!! Allow me to...

  • Feeding Tube, Monday Morning Thoughts

Happy #FeedingTubeAwarenessWeek to all my tubies out there! Whenever I write about my feeding tube, I generally talk about how amazing it has been for me. My g-tube has helped me accomplish so much, and for that reason it’s always easy to write about. I want to kick off Feeding Tube Awareness Week with something...

  • Feeding Tube, In My Experience

Day four with my cold and I can see the faintest light at the end of the tunnel. I pull out all the tricks when I’m sick, but none more important than hammering away with my feeding tube. I’m the kind of person who hates eating when I get sick. I just have absolutely no...

  • Feeding Tube, In My Experience

Standby for a poop blog! Yesterday I was at clinic for a routine visit, and part of that visit included a sonogram. Actually… believe it or not, October is Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month. Did you know that? I didn’t. Anywhoooo…I decided to make light of that part of my trip and play a little game....
