I can't get the PEG but did have the nasal tube until I was discharged from the Hospital. It was removed before I went out the door. I as lucky and forced the swallowing right after surgery. I still have to force the swallow with a lot of water even tho a lot of it comes back out thru my nose. Good luck to you both and may a Guardian and Recovery Angel see you thru this.
