My Tummy No Likey the Tubey

Hold on, folks! I'm about to reveal a major mythbuster, here:

MYTH: If one has an NG/NJ feeding tube in, and they vomit, then they will throw up the tube as well.

Alas. I was a believer in this myself, seeing it happen to many a fellow eating disorderian.

FACT: You can totally ralph and keep the tube in, too.

AN ILLUSTRATION: I didn't feel well. Big B and I were en route to comprar some saltines. We were nearly to the gas station when I shrieked for him to pull over because I was so going to toss some cookies.

15 seconds later:
gag gag ralph vomit pause for breath spit vomit gag spit
afterward
my first thought: I feel better!
my second thought: Hey. The tube didn't come out! It's a Christmas miracle!

15 minutes later:
gag gag ralph vomit pause for breath vomit spit gag pause for breath vomit some more ralph curse the kitties for staring at me while I do something as personal as puke breathe ralph lose it toss some more cookies
afterward
my first thought: I feel better!
my second thought: Don't think about glazed donuts or else you'll throw upDon't think about glazed donuts or else you'll throw upDon't think about glazed donuts or else you'll throw up glazeddonutsglazeddonutsglazeddonuts SUCK
and then
heave gag vomit
my third thought: I better get Big B to clean this up.
my fourth thought: Hey. The tube didn't come out! It's a Christmas miracle! Two Christmas miracles in one night? A record!

Here's to hoping I will get THREE Christmas miracles in one night. My wish? That I will throw up no more...
