The day after undergoing a tracheostomy, while the nurse was cleaning me and I turned first on one side and then the other, perhaps because of those moves, I gave a Scripting nausea and stomach . I will not get into too much detail, suffice it to say that the resurgence of artificial feeding is dangerous, because the material could fall into the digestive airways, with consequences that you can imagine. It was then placed the bag containing the artificial feeding lower than my body, to stop the flow that normally reaches the stomach by taking advantage of gravity.
Later, through the tube, I was injected into the stomach to empty any remaining, half a liter of Coca Cola, drink me, among other things, has never liked.
Clearly it does not feel the taste, but I felt only the passage of this cold liquid into the esophagus and very crisp. The solution worked, and my stomach in just a few hours emptied completely and began to be felt the pangs of hunger. Shortly thereafter, I removed the nasogastric tube. I remember that I asked before anesthesia, a request that the doctor did smile, which confirmed to me that despite my fears, the removal will cause pain, if anything, a slight discomfort.
several meters long seemed to me, never ended estrarmelo of the nose.
The next day I made my first meal.
remember the writing on the package that accompanied the platter, when I arrived on the bed and tracheostomized diet consisted of a jar of baby food with meat, mashed potatoes and apple pulp.
I was happy as a child and it seemed the most delicious I had ever tasted.
the same days, I realized that my legs, slowly but surely, they were waking up and I could finally move his feet. I understood when one day, my mother who came to see me, I asked him to cut my toenails pulled and one out from the sheets, to make her understand what I meant when I was a gesture of the index and middle fingers that open and close a gap. Those two fingers were no longer the only part of my body I could move.
