Clark had ORN and had a fibular graft, too. It is a big surgery but the results are so worth it. Now he can eat and function normally. The PEG is not bad at all. It helped my husband maintain his weight for 3 years when eating was almost impossible. You will do fine. We are all cheering you on and you have my support. Christine had a good idea about bulking up. Doesn't Lactaid make ice cream? Ummm chocolate sauce! A couple of spoonfuls of Nutella will pack on some pounds, too. That stuff is so deliciously decadent!
All my best-
Anita
