Liz,
I thought the same thing as well about his statement. My husband is taking it as truth. Whatever!!! I am at wits end about his nutrition. He has a tube and because of the gag reflex, I can't get him to eat. He hates the tast of the osmolite which is the insurance paid for formula, so I buy Boost and Ensure at the store. I am so frustrated. I told him yesterday to suck it up and eat. That didn't go over too well. I think I am going to go ahead and order what they call a kangaroo pump to use for night time feeding and tell him he has to do it.
Liz, I read your post this morning and was in tears. You are a brave and strong woman. Thank you for sharing such personal, painfull and sensitive issues with people who care and can learn from what you have gone through.
Valerie
