Tube Feeding

Today was a very, very tiring day, especially for Bill.  He didn't sleep well last night because of the pain and he tried sleeping in a recliner.  Can you believe this?  He said that the pain is worse than when he had his open heart surgery.

The dietician arrived at 7:28 a.m. to bring the food and show us how to give Bill his nutritional suppliment.  We left at 9:30 and he had his radiation treatment at the hospital.  It took longer today because they had to do some new measuring due to the surgical site.  From there we went across the street and he had a two-hour hydration.  Poor Bill.  He was almost too tired to walk.  When we got home I fed him, with the expertise and encouragement of our resident RN.  I have to be very good at this before Jon goes to work.  Well, at least I need to know what to do.
