I have my peg in as of yesterday and I will start using that and of course still eat.

As for alternative treatments, oh no I am not into that at all, I must not have worded my question correctly. I just wanted to know about the elixir that helps soothe the throat, and I see from Don's post the Magic Mouthwash is an rx and I believe that's the answer I was looking for. I didn't realize it was an rx.

I appreciate everyone's input and will post with any more questions. (In the right place) For the most part reading others post for the last two years has been so very helpful.
And yes Christine, I'm on it with the drivers, thanks smile
