This might be a weird one. I have had my PEG since Early July and for 8 weels I was 100% reliant on it. It was a life saver, for both food and drugs. I am eating 100% through the mouth now, I might use the PEG for water just to keep it clean, I will have it removed in a couple of weeks, I hate it and love it at the same time and in truth I am having a bit of anxiety over having it removed. Werid huh?
