Not a good day today. The feeding tube will not take any quatity of liquid. Have managed to get through the day with a combination of forcing little bits of meds down the tube (which is starting to hurt when we do that)  or taking them by mouth. Have only tried to get the Parkinsons meds into him - not any of the other meds or vitamins he takes. He has managed to drink a couple of cans of his protein drink (he is supposed to have 6 a day) and has eaten some ice cream. Tonight I had to give him extra meds just an hour after he had taken them because they did not seem to be working at all. Tuesday (when I can contact the surgeon re the tube) seems a long way off.

Two thumbs down for sure.
