Because I am an self proclaimed "Old Frack" as well as an autocratic Alpha Male , I am not ashamed to say WOW -DID YOU JUST PROVE ME WRONG!. I sadly know the whole "6 months" routine and AMAZED at 2 years and 8 months. I am actually relieved on my Civil Rights side to see that PEGAPHOBIA is an equal opportunity affliction. I also hate no swimming, no hot tubs.
Bear in mind that surgery PEGs sound like necessity to me as opposed to free choice. Still, it is only those who don't have to face the fear of always having a PEG who can scoff at our concerns. Sadly, I wish I was one of them.
