Love on Wheelz

Sorry for the hiatus there. I was having some issues getting these pics, due to the fact I had no camera.
Q. How do you eat?

Syringe, tube, and feeding pump.
A. It depends. I can eat food by mouth when I get cravings, but not enough to be nutritious.
99% of the time, I use a feeding tube and syringe as shown. My nurses pour the food into the syringe and let gravity do the rest, which I love because I can feel it going in, and it gives me the feeling of being full.
When I use the pump, you turn it on and select the speed (displayed on the screen) you want the food to go, but at any speed it’s slow as hell.
You hang a bag on the pole and put the long plastic tube in a slit in the right side, then the other end of my tube goes through my stomach. The speed depends on how I feel and how long I want it to take.

Neo in Spin Kick Mode.
The food itself is called Portagen. My cells can’t burn fat, so apparently this does some fancy stuff that helps me with that. I’m not sure what it is, I just know it is good for me.
When the pump is done, it beeps, alerting Neo. At which point, he turns it off with a high-flying spin kick.
If Neo isn’t in the mood (he’s fickle) the nurse does it.
