Shout out the IV fluids, it our second Valentine's Day together. I really like the fact we get to spend this one cozy at home instead of at CHOP like last year #therealBAE #IVfluidsdependent #ilovesaline #dysautonomia

Irving the IV pile has been with me since I first got a feeding. He has stayed by my side through 5 NJs, 4 peg-js, and 5 MicKey GJ buttons as well as one port. He dutifully holds all my feeds, fluids, and pumps as well as various decorations (because who said an IV pole could be fashionable?). A lays making sure I get my nutrition and fluids while I sleep, Irving is the unsung hero of feeding tube awareness week. Too many people think having an IV pole in their room is a bad thing, I am just thankful to have Irving instead of being in the hospital with an IV pole that doesn't have any Christmas lights #irvingtheivpole #IVfluidsdependent #tubie #feedingtubeawarenessweek #gastroparesis #beadsofcourage #dysautonomia
Here is one day worth of feeding tube and IV fluids supplies. People constantly make comments about how it must save me so much time not having to eat. They fail to realize how much time I spend prepping, priming, and trouble shooting my tubes. My apartment is filled to the brim with medical supplies. I am thankful to live a fairly normal life thanks to all of these supplies. #feedingtubeawarenessweek #gastroparesis #tubie #IVfluidsdependent
10 liters of IV saline, what a gorgeous sight! After being out since Thursday because no doctor was taking responsibility, finally my cardiologist's PA got involved and saved the day and also realize I need fluids more then I was getting them #IVfluidsdependent #tubie #feedingtubeawareness #dysautonomia #spoonie #chronicillness
After lots of port problems today my new beads could not have come at a better time. A constant reminder of the beauty in my strength #beadsofcourage #patriciatheport #powerport #dysautonomia #chronicpain #IVfluidsdependent @beadsofcourage
