Please dont forget that OCF is here to support you. There are so many who have undergone similar surgeries and understand what you are going thru. I had to have the IV antibiotics for 8 months. What a pain!!! I also have a feeding tube, luckily no infections. I am familiar with all the hassles a feeding tube can bring with it. Please take care of yourself the very best that you can. Never forget that you are not alone, OCF is here 24/7. Its ok to lean on us, we are here for you.
Best wishes for a better new year!
