Well I think back in June of last year I left off at my 17 day stay at Vandy....I came home for four days and then I began to completely lose my appetite again and stopped eating...so BACK to vanderbilt and when I got there I started seeing a doctor by the name of Bermudez...he was a great doctor and all but I couldn't stand him! He made me so mad he kept telling me my problem was mental and that I was anorexic so the put a feeding tube in my nose and expected me to eat like 850 calories a day....fromt he hospital cafeteria! (GAG)
He also told me that I had to eat everything on my plate that I ordered if I ordered it I had to eat it and I had 30 minutes to do so! SO out of spite I would order HALF of everything...half a baked potato, half a bag of chips, half a biscut, half a sausage patty...it was kinda funny! (looking back that is) So I left the stay at Vanderbilt with a feeding tube, and holding the AIR HOCKEY CHAMP title...that was my last stay in the hospital for that year.....I got out two weeks before thanksgiving, when I got home I came down with the flu about a week after I got home, the feeding tube was making it worse so I called them and ask if i could take the feeding tube out...after much persuasion on my part they let me...from that moment I stopped taking my meds and a week later I had a full appetite and gained 7 pounds in a week...I WAS ELATED!!!! NO MORE FEEDING TUBES! and no more YOUR ANOREXIC speeches.
