Lenny, sounds like you are doing well after your surgery. My hubsand has some nausea problem while using the peg tube. We helped to manage that by #1. slowing down the amount that went into the peg at one time, #2. Thinning the nutrients with water and #3. doing smaller amounts with more frequency. There are still areas of his face and chin that are numb so that issue may well take you a while. Sorry it's so cold where you are. I think the cold temps are hard on our bodies. But Spring is around the corner-at least for us in the South So come join us. Amy
