Whoa, Nelie!
You are one busy young thing!

I can address a few items:
The PEG seemed to be no big deal for my husband, and they did not have him stay in hospital but for a few hours to rest after insertion. Besides it being a 'pain in the neck' to keep clean, and the fact that it is in the way, he's not complained about it. It was put in prior to
radiation treatments (AUG 2004) and he is still relying on the nutrition it allows him to take.

The teeth issue: he had none pulled - everything was in great shape. He is, however, required to use flouride trays nightly - for the rest of his life. It is a 15-minute bedtime ritual, and he only misses on night like last night, when his congested head just wouldn't allow him to keep his mouth closed that long.

Good luck, kiddo! You are certainly approaching this with a great attitude! Keep it up - - you make me smile
