Talk about God working in mysterious ways. The hole where my tube came out of my stomach got infected and I called the doc and he tells me to come in today(Friday) and we would see what to do about it. I told him on the phone that I wanted it out since me and my wife feel I am eating good enough to survive without it. He told me as long as I felt that way he would take it out. I feel the infection was Gods way of getting me down to the doc to get it out. I am very nrevous about all of this because I have gotten very used to the tube and always knew if all else failed I could get my nourishment through the tube. I feel like this is a blessing though and if the time wasnt right to get it out then none of this would have happened.
