|  Argh.  Called yesterday to have the PEG pulled they said Jan 7.  Granted the thing probably saved my life but I still hate the thing.  I have not fed with it in 8 days.  It's got to go.
 They said they were booked with emergency cancer patient, Vac and holidays.  I told them great, I am an emergency cancer patient on Vac thru the holidays.  They did not find that funny.
 
 Saw the ENT yesterday.  He scoped me and said everything looks great.  I even gained 3 lbs.
 
 Anyway, Today is 5 weeks since last rad.   Life is good.  The only issue are sore throat while swallowing, dry mouth, very limited taste, and this hose coming out of my belly.  I even resumed my hockey dad duties.
