[quote=Cheryld]awesome... Keep pushing. You will find someone... Seriously they didn't know how to do a peg? Wow... That's crazy,,. Very common place here,
You could always move to canada??!! We have good beer apparently... And greens.... kale spinach chard.. Hugs [/quote]

Of course they knew how to do a PEG via down the neck but could not/would not because it is blocked by the inoperable tumors and they were not prepared to risk a potential hemorrhage by forcing their way through then. BUT they did not know how to cut a hole, big enough to insert their hand, from the outside into the stomach and insert the PEG from there. As it was my only option I cheefully agreed to it - what's one more scar ? eek
