Steve is still waiting to get his peg out. Hasn't used it in about 6 weeks now but still his doctor says no. After all of the issues we had when it was first put in they are reluctant to put Steve through that again incase we need it. Very disappointing for Steve as he hates the rotten thing although he has gotten used to it. It must be very liberating to have it gone and to then be able to sleep on your stomach again for the first time in months.
