Weaning From TPN..

0 Recommendations

Well I am excited because for the next 2 days I have to measure everything that goes in and out of my body. Oh Boy... Gotta love measuring poo.. I know, we have all had to do it, but still.. It ain't right. Who made this plan? I think when a medical professional asks a patient to do this they should have to have done it themselves. I bet after a couple of times they would change their mind about having me do it. And they don't even GO as much as I do so it wouldn't be all that bad.. would it??

Of course it is easier for me since I have an ostomy but getting doo on my hands is a for sure when I'm measuring. That means my already raw hands will get even more raw!! Sigh...

But if I don't do this then I can't try weaning off TPN.. So I will be measuring.. and measuring... etc. I pray I can do this and I pray I can eat 2000 calories a day.
