I am like Mr Ebert and do not do any feedings or take meds in public, not ever! I have seen Charm do his feedings while his wife and I ate our dinner. He is very discreet and yes, nobody even notices. Funny thing is when Charm and I met, we compared our tubes as neither of us have a regular one. Meeting other people who use a feeding tube is very helpful! It is very nice to see Mr Ebert bring this out in the open bringing understanding of other ways to eat besides what regular people do!
