Half PINNT Frequently asked questions:

Dear Drippy

I have a very sore site where my tube goes in. Can you recommend anything to soothe it?

Reply

Have you tried Cavilon no sting barrier foams or spray? They help ease the soreness and are available by prescription.



Dear Drippy

How do you hide your tube when swimming?

Reply

Have you tried an all in one swimsuit? They are very fashionable and also cover you up in the sun.


Dear Drippy

I am often sick when I eat and it is embarrassing in a restaurant. What should I do?

Reply

If you can get to a toilet quick enough, then try to do so. If that is not possible, have a little pot handy. Denture pots with lids are very good and can be ordered from your doctor.


Dear Drippy

I eat a very small amount and Mum and Dad have to pay for a whole meal for me when I have a buffet in a restaurant and I may only eat a few bits of pasta. Is there an easy way of explaining it to the waitress, so we don’t have to pay for me?

Reply

We are currently working on ordering Restaurant Cards. They will be laminated and ask the manager to let you share a plate of food with someone else.
