Camelbac is no issue, IV tube can be. I just sucked until water got to tip, then breathed, and started drinking. You get the hang of it after a few sips.

The nice thing about the tube, either IV tube straw, or Camelbak, you an keep it under coves with you. I even wore a sweat band and had the IV tube under it. To hold it to my wrist.

Never realized how bumpy my chair was. I attached a camera and wanted to do a long exposure, hoping my chair would be like a tripod. But even holding my breath when zoomed out, that screen is jumping all over.
I can get super dizzy after eating. And maybe 10% of the time the nurses can't hear/find my blood pressure.
Not sure if related, but think it could be, about 10% of the time they can't find a vain to draw blood. When it's that bad, even the light machine can't find a vain.
