Hi Pat, sorry to take so long in getting back to you.
There was one set back while I was in the hospital; they had switched me from a liquid diet to a solid diet. After going three weeks of being pumped full of saline solutions and glucose, not to mention drugs, I was put on a liquid diet. Someone messed up in the kitchen and sent me a full solid diet-roast chicken, rice and mixed veggies. I didn't think twice; I ripped into that plate like a starving vampire.
The worst part, was that I had forgot that my dentures were still in the security department. My stomach couldn't digest it and I was vomiting all that day. After I was better, I gave them a lecture-I was an Institutional Cook for the Jewish Home & Hospital for the Aged and was quite familiar with nutrition and the different diets, plus we had to go to school to study nutrition.
They didn't make that mistake again.
I got in touch with my insurance, which referred me to "Living Better Now" I had to send copies of the prescriptions for the red rubber tubes, saline solution and the syringes to irrigate the pouch. They send the supplies bu UPS, so I should be getting my supplies soon.
Thanks for all the help
William
