Oh, I know exactly how you feel! Years ago, Waldo had emergency back surgery. That went well, but he was so nauseous from the painkillers and antibiotics that he refused to eat for three weeks. He had to go back to the hospital, where they put in a feeding tube. Not the easy IV kind, but one that stuck out the side of his stomach. Six times a day, I needed to grind up special food into a paste and inject it into the tube with a huge syringe. Keeping the tube clean was horrendous - not only the food going in, but blood and other fluids coming out. I'm single and work full-time, so it was incredibly stressful.<div>
