- Hi friends! In today's days in my life vlog with gastroparesis and a g/j feeding tube, I will be organizing and unboxing all of my feeding tube and medical supplies.
This area was such a cluttered mess and I have been wanting to clean and organize it for so long and I finally found the perfect way to do so!
I found this cute little sewing cart at Michaels and thought it would be the perfect fit since it has all the extra little shelves and add ons that is perfect for holding things like my tubie pads, syringes and tape.
In this video I also organize my sewing room! I had fabric and supplies everywhere so of course I had to get some more bins and containers to organize that as well and it turned out soooo nice.
I hope you enjoy the video and don't forget to like, comment and subscribe for new videos every Saturday!
As always, don't forget to spread kindness and joy!

omg 800!! You all are so sweet thank you so much for being here and supporting me I appreciate you more than you know! I hope you enjoy the video and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend💚
It's so therapeutic to see everything organized! It almost calms you , right?I love how you create beauty in everything you do, how brave!
yes omg the organization calms me and my life overall just feels so much less cluttered when I organize haha. Thank you so much for the sweet comment!
Cooking for your dude like that you are a keeper!
Haha I genuinely love cooking and baking, but I am also happy that one of my passions is able to help my boyfriend too!
Yeessss! I love the week to do list idea 😁 that way I can feel like I am accomplishing things but at my own pace ❤️ thank you for the video 💕
Yes the week long one has been so helpful for me as I’m learning how to pace myself and go easy on myself. And you are so welcome!💕
Oh snap! I have a prescription that requires syringes to inject it, and had issues last year where the pharmacy would forget to pack the syringes every other month. I would call them every time right away, and ask their pharmacist if they wanted me to reuse my old syringes and needles. That would always freak out the pharmacist, and they would immediately overnight me the needles and syringes I needed for free.
that is such a good tip I will have to keep that in mind thank you!
Organization videos are so satisfying!! Loved this!! Glad to see you are doing a little better. ☺️
Aww thank you so much!💕
It was so wonderful to see you happy and having so much fun! You go girl! Love that cart. And your tubi pads are awesome. :)
Aww thank you so much that means a lot to me!💕
I love organizing videos!! Makes me think I need to start organize my things lol
Aww yay, me too! You don’t neeeeeed to but it’s so much fun and it looks so nice after!
U can use the small pieces of fabric as wash rags or for your pads
You could paint the trash can with gold spray paint to make it more esthetically pleasing
Omg that is such a good idea thank you!!
Diaper caddy’s are also good organization containers for on the go or home. Moteph Extra Large Diaper Caddy, on Amazon has served well. Thanking about getting a few more for a homemade first aid kit etc.
Also, I wear maternity jeans for this really bad boating days,but you still wanna wear jeans. People have laughed at me, But I say, why reinvent the wheel why are there so many things out there already at our disposal. Have a good one!
ooo that is such a good idea too I have never thought of that. Thank you for sharing! I have heard a lot of people mention maternity jeans are a life saver when bloated. I never understand why people make fun of others for wearing what makes them comfortable because it doesn't effect them in any way. Keep wearing what you want and what makes you feel comfortable! Thank you and I hope you have a good day too!
I hate putting stuff together, I will pay someone to put something together, good job 👏. Also, making the decision to get a garbage can was a big one, another great job, you are the cutest 🌸
Haha I sometimes don’t like it but other times I really don’t mind it at all! Thank you so much!
Hey! The cats were patiently waiting for you to empty that huge box so they could jump in and play in it, but you quickly closed it and threw it off to the side before they could have fun! lol
lol you’re probably right but I think they still opened it up and played with it when it was off to the side!
@@KennaKrueger But you didn't get that part on camera! lol
It's amazing how wonderful pets are for people like us who deal with chronic health issues! They cheer us up, comfort us, make us laugh, and they love us unconditionally. They don't care what we can or can't do - they love us for who we are. :)
Yes I love that about my cats! They always seem to know exactly when I need them and somehow manage to understand my feeding tube is not a toy! I was worried because usually my cats get into everything but they have been soo good
Lol the way u put the ziplock bags was the way I was gonna comment to do it lol great minds think alike
P.s ur awsome love ur videos
Haha yes they do and thank you so much!
I saw you keep peppermint with your little nausea stash. Nausea has been kicking my butt lately so I'm definitely going to try mints and see if they help 😬 i was thinking for your garbage can, maybe you could use stickers or decals to make it look cuter. You could make it match your iv pole or something? 🤷🏻♀️
Yes I do! And sometimes they help, sometimes they don't. It is a hit or miss but definitely worth a try! oooo I like that idea thank you!
Decals in the garbage can. I’ve done that many times.
Ooo yes I will have to try that!
hey! i’m from orlando too! just got diagnosed with gastroparesis and i was wondering what dr’s in that area did you really like? (i don’t really like my dr rn)... thank you for posting these videos they are very helpful! stay strong 💚
I honestly don't have any suggestions haha because my current orlando doctor actually doesnt know how else to treat me so she is referring me elsewhere. You are so welcome and I hope you and I are able to find doctors that are able to further treat us!
Your looking well kenna how you feeling 💕
Thank you! I’m feeling all right. Some days are better than others but I am just happy to be having some good days! Hope you are doing all right too!
You should put googly eyes on your trash can!! That’s what I did to mine so it wouldn’t be so plain and I’d feel happier looking at it. Now it just needs a silly mustache!
Haha I definitely should I love that idea!
Does your company not send you drainage bags?
No they don’t send them without a prescription from my doctor which I’m currently trying to get but idk apparently they have to consult a dietician before they write the prescription so I honestly don’t know when I’ll get them
@@KennaKrueger The healthcare system gives us too many hoops to jump through, which is worse if we have chronic health issues that cause fatigue and impair our ability to run through their obstacle course of red tape. Can you keep nagging doctors until you get set up with the drainage bag prescription? During the course of dealing with chronic health issues for a few decades, I've found that assertiveness and persistence in dealing with the healthcare system makes things go much better. :)
They seriously do and that’s why things are so delayed is because I simply did not have the energy to keep calling and pestering them haha but I am continuously following up with them both through phone call and messages so hopefully they will get to it soon because not having them can be a little inconvenient. I am a very non confrontational person but I am working on becoming more comfortable with being assertive when it is something I need!
@@KennaKrueger Yeah, I've never liked being confrontational, either. Always remember that assertiveness and persistence isn't necessarily confrontation. You are a human being who has the right to medical care; and you deserve the best possible quality of life, given whatever life throws at you. You are a unique individual and your life matters, so if you need something to make your health and well-being better, it's perfectly fine and very appropriate to stand your ground and firmly say "I need this. I expect to receive this at your earliest convenience."
@@Dulcimerist Yes thank you so much for that reminder I often forget the difference, and still for some reason feel bad even though all I want is proper medical care! This is such a sweet message thank you so much and I am pretty sure I am getting my drainage bags tomorrow or within the next couple days now!
HOW do you have that much Zofran?! They only give me like 18 at a time it’s really annoying. And insurance only covers 18 a month…. which is definitely not enough for a whole month
Also Mint gum and candy is such a great hack. I started doing that intuitively years ago. Also mint ice cream 💛soothes the belly and helps the nausea.
Do you still suffer with nausea. Xx
Yes! Some days it is really bad and I take zofran other days my main symptoms are just bloating, heaviness and fullness. However I don’t always have to jump to zofran now because of my g/j tube. If I start getting significant nausea I will try draining first and usually that will help. If for some reason it doesn’t then I will take zofran.
