The cotton rolls are not perfect...but trust me they seem to help.
Tell Keith that doing a PEG isn't that bad....plus if the Dr. prescribes it the insurance co. may pick it all up. I'm feeding 3 times a day, 1 560 cal. for lunch ( at work with a syringe) 2 450 cal. at 7p.m., then I set up my pump with 3 450 cal cans to run while I sleep. which gets me over 2500 Cal a day....I hate it, I'm a real deal foodie, but it keeps me healthy and helps my body fight the good fight.
Best wishes,
Gary
