Congratulations on being able to eat again, I am still stuck on the PEG as the second round of radiation really fried my epiglottis. At least I have not had any PEG infections but I slather it everyday with antibiotic cream.
people do have a very hard time understanding me on the phone also and it is difficult to have this speech impediment.
