I can relate to what you are going through, yoga is a great way to deal!

Jim did have swelling that would come and go after he had the same surgery. Lymphadema caused a lot of that and massage helped get those excess fluids moving and reduced the swelling.

I didn't have the beer down feeding tube issue but I think if it helps him deal with all he is going through and doesn't replace the good calories he needs to take in what's the harm? I'm sure the docs won't agree with me on that point though.

Take care!
