From what the rad tech told me, the tube will be inserted using ultrasound. That's similar to the ultrasound method they used when doing my inital FNA biopsy. I did come away yesterday with Fluconazole for the thrush and what the RO called "magic swizzle". Label reads "antacid/xylo visc/diphenydramine". Sure tastes like lidocaine and maalox. Not a cocktail I learned in bartending school. It does numb the throat enough to swallow food. So far so good in that respect. For dinner I got some LaChoy Chow Mein vegetables and had them over rice with beef broth. Ate 2 large bowls and it was easy to swallow. I thought of the veggies earlier and remembered how soft and squishy they are. I'd rather have my own stir fry, but that will have to wait a while.
