For all those PEG tube users....

Glad press and seal works very well at keeping you from soaking up water. It also works for picc lines. I wrap my arm everyday to take a shower so I decided to try and take it a step further and swim.

I wrapped my arm and then wrapped it around my waist. It worked very well at keeping the pool water out. Of course it wasnt 100% leak proof but it did a good job and I would try it again. It was so much fun to swim and forget momentarily that I have been sick at all.
