Well now it has been officially 3 weeks post treatment, I am swallowing liquids pretty good and throat is feeling better. Pretty much off of pain medications as well but I just had my final battle with the damn PEG tube today. I am so sick and tired of it, I cant get water to go in now and the tube is clear as day with nothing blocking it and water just sits in the syringe. So I said screw it, taped it up and threw my carnations and ensures in the fridge and am going to try my best to consume it that way. I am just so sick of the daily grind with this damn PEG tube, I just dont understand what is going on and now has become motivation to try and chugg down my food. Thanks all, I hope david is right about the 6 week mark lol.
