Last Friday the doctor told my father that for him, the feeding tube was a necessity. I think his appointment is October 4th..but I don't really see a need for it yet.
My father's mouth is finally better since the surgery/tooth extractions, and he's actually almost able to enjoy food now. Where was the doctor with this decision when my dad couldn't eat? Oh sure, wait until he's able to eat, then drop this bomb on him.
I think besides the "Chemo-Room", this feeding tube idea is scaring the hell out of him. He purposely missed a Dr.'s appointment on Wednesday, and proceeded to drink beers.

So here comes my question. Is it okay for my dad to be drinking beers? I'm not talking about excessively or anything, he had like 2 or 3. I think that if he can drink them, and they are full of calories, more power to him! ( In moderation of course )

Also, this feeding tube thing is REALLY new to me, so any recipes, helpful medications, anything would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys.
