Been here for 2 days now. My GJ tube has flipped and bowel obstructions again. Since I keep having issues with my GJ tube flipping and other issues with the tubes lately we have decided that it’s best to just separate them into two separate tubes. So one would just be a G-tube and one would be just a J-tube. But one problem is both IR (interventional radiology) and general surgeon have said they don’t feel comfortable doing this procedure out here because of medically complex and with transplant team involved. We knew that was a possibility of not getting it done out here and then I would have to be transferred to Cleveland instead to get it done there. Pic from out my window in my room.

About sums it up. Back in the hospital again.
