Jennie - one thing the medical team forgot to emphasize when John has his PEG put in and suddenly was taking very strong pain killers was the constipation factor.

He basically went from no drugs to morphine and they didn't really give him anything for the inevitable constipation that goes with narcotics until after he was in a lot of pain from it. It took a few days to get sorted and I still get cross when I think about because it was unavoidable.

Perhaps this has been addressed with your husband but wanted to raise it just in case.
