So I have…

…fixed a clog in the g-tube, which is good because at first I thought it was worse than a clog, I thought it was something seriously wrong.  But it was a clog, and it seems fixed, for now.  At least, I could pump water through it, then.  Who knows.  I’m chewing gum right now deliberately because it makes more air in my stomach, and more air in my stomach helps the g-tube drain faster and more efficiently.  

…put three different meds into the j-tube, hoping it’s still located in my jejunum.  Nausea meds, pain meds, anxiety meds.  I guess if they spectacularly don’t work, we’ll know.

…flushed the j-tube which seems to be working fine.

…not reattached the j-tube to my feeding, which I would normally regret, but the feeding is what screwed everything up in the first place, and it kept clogging and then it got caught and that’s when everything went to hell.

This isn’t going to be a great night either way, but I’m hoping it’ll at least be uneventful.
