Thanks Christine, very comforting words. My wife rubbed my back and I feel a lot better.

I asked about a pump, but the nutritionist said I might not need it as she wanted me to do 2 cans in the morning, 2 at lunch and 2 at dinner and one before bed. But if I need it they have no problem with that.

I timed the first 2 oz. using gravity only it took 8 mins. Kinda slow I thought but the water flush went very fast.

Guess I will take it easy.
Get to shower tomorrow and take the port bandage off.

Chin up!
