Your body needs nutrients and fuel, and you need to be feeding it so that your recovery time is not extended. You don't want to have a nasal tube for more than a short period. You will have that thing hanging out of your nose in your face and dangling in front of your mouth all the time. I think you can imagine what that looks like and how that will impact how you feel about seeing anyone or going out of the house. Nasal tubes are for use for a few days only, and generally not used for long term feeding which you may need.
