OK just like the reaction I had when my RO first mentioned the feeding tube...I said NO WAY feeding tubes are for sick people and I'm (stage IV) not sick! I say NO WAY to hearing aids as they are for OLD people and I'm (63) not old. OK so my brain doesn't always work the way it should. Maybe I'll look into them post tax season. Man what's next for me, a walker!
