Pete,
That's a rough Thanksgiving present you were dealt! I hope things go smoothly for you. As for the 32syringe salute, I would go with the bag method, fill the bag with Ensure, attach the tubing to your peg, turn the stopcock on, power up the laptop, your hands are free to do whatever graphic manipulation of your CT you want, the food drips in (slowly, so you don't get nauseated) and you don't get those nasty syringe callouses on the palms of your hands.
Best wishes for a full recovery, a smooth voyage through the radiation ride, and ohbytheway a Happy Thanksgiving!

Andrea
