"Samudra Mathana" scene from #Hindu lore. In the foreground is "Koorma" (turtle, Wishnu's 2nd incarnation) carrying the "Meru" mountain on his back as gods and demons tug on "Shesha" the serpent to churn the "Indoo" ocean for "amrita" (elixir). #ama

This portrait hangs at Adamaru Matha, #Udupi #India. Its odd dimension and narrow location made it hard to photograph, but several tries and some digital lifting produced decent result, I think. (Shot on Feb. 21, 2025)

PS: This Friday was (is) "Koorma Jayanthi", the birthday of Koorma.

As always, it's ok to #AMA about my feeding tube. In 2012, after getting my tube and getting no information about how to care for it or use it, I joined social media to advocate and help people, including posting YouTube care and instructional videos. On Twitter, my profile handle was #FeedingTubePaul

So, whether you need help with one, you or a loved one has been told you need one, you are choking and feel one might be in your future and you are worried, or just curious about 14-years with one, the diet, socializing with it, etc ask me anything. #Medical #FeedingTube #MedMastodon

We had to change out my feeding tube last night and it was the first time doing so since we got the new EN-Fit style tubes. We've been requesting legacy Y-Port tubes so we can use up our supplies. The new tube has a hard silicon ring at the bottom of the balloon tip to prevent a tube from popping out if the balloon that keeps it in burst.

This means, after you remove the water from the balloon and go to pull it out, it won't come out because the ring is larger than your stoma (hole going from the outside in.) You have to gently tug it out. It's a good idea, esp if you ever had a tube come out and the stoma close up overnight.

A hundred things went through our minds as to why it wouldn't come out after changing the tube every three or four months for 14-years and it just coming out, sometimes on its own because you have gas in the belly.

We pretty much hate the new EN-Fit feeding tubes. Everything has to be screwed in, the ports stay nasty, they don't let people with motor control issues to self-administer, etc. #FeedingTube #Medical #MedMastodon
