Angelia,

Don't want to beat a dead horse but most insurance companies cover Home Health and Durable Medical Equipment. In our case (Aetna), with a doctor's orders, we had a nurse come to the house and show us how to use and care for the PEG and......we had a company that supplies medical stuff deliver the canned supplement and the little slit gauze pads that you put under your button as well as tape, etc. When we needed more, I simply called them. We never paid a copay for this and they did all the work of contacting Aetan and getting the approvals.

I know you hate your PEG and, who wouldn't with the pain that you have. It should get better and later on..you may find that it is a real life saver. I think that once you get going on your treatments, you will be, in a sense, happier. This beginning stuff sucks big time but once you feel like you are doing something to "kill the beast," it will be better.

Hang in there,

Deb
