Im glad to hear you are doing well despite your ongoing problems with eating and your neck. You're not alone, I also still have my feeding tube. For me, its going to be here for the rest of my life so I can either be upset over it or accept that I need it. In the whole scheme of things, being stuck with a feeding tube is not that bad. Your positive outlook can be a big help in adjusting to living with a feeding tube. Theres alot more of us tube feeders than you would think!
