Because I didn’t have enough adrenaline today.

My tube partially clogged this morning.

For some reason, bits of the food formed into thin layers around the edges of parts of the tube. We got some out but there were clearly some deep inside.

We put a bunch of diet coke in. In order to try and dissolve it.

I don’t think it dissolved it but it must have loosened it a little.

Because I felt as I pushed hot water in…

Some of it loosened and went further into the tube. Where it stuck against more clogged food and I couldn’t push anything past.

Then I shoved really hard and wool the clogs got out.

You can feel it because when you push against a partial clog, it’s harder to push water in. You get resistance.

And with a full clog you can’t push in at all.

But when the clogs are cleared the water goes in easy.

But by the time I cleared it, I was already thinking I’d be going to the ER. Because I was thinking with a partial clog they’d have some hope of clearing out before it got to a full clog.

But I’m thrilled that I don’t have to. I didn’t realize how scared I was till it was over.
