It took a couple days to get my PEG in so I went for daily hydration sessions which helped a lot. It was a low point for me though- I felt like my body was betraying me! I hope you're able to get alternate nutrition ASAP - I know you know how important adequate nutrition/hydration is.
Hang in there Kerri - you WILL get through this! Jen
