I’ve been thinking about life out of this facility after I’ve recovered from my tube feed. I’m hoping that living in an independent care facility will be a better experience for me and my Dad. At this time all I do is wait for my meals and then that’s it. I don’t like the meals I eat. I wish to cook for myself. I want to season my food with something more than salt. I want to go out and eat at restaurants, choosing from a varied menu.
I weigh 96 pounds now. My nurse tells me I’m close to the target weight that the doctor recommends for me. It won’t be long before I get free of my feed. I’m looking forward to the day when my feed will be discontinued.
