I bet you are so happy to be home with your family. You sure hit the nail on the head with whats most important in life and its not food. We had a very special member who recently passed away who was dependent on a feeding tube. He really knew how to live and made the most of life without taking even one bite of food or a sip of water.
Best wishes with your continued recovery.
