Since I have started this whole subject, perhaps I can close it???

Thank you to all your wisdom. I know that at the end of the day you ALL want to help and YES you have helped us immensely...maybe you don't realised how much... ALL of you. I know and understand that different opinions are based on each experience. I hope we all realised this?? This is why new people like us learn and get SO MUCH of this forum (don't mean it in a selfish way). David has made his decision based on many variables and this site was certainy one of them (although I was the messanger) and he has listen ALL the replies. He was able to analyse to pro's and con's based on OUR situation, his capacitiy to deal with the PEG, the feedback from patients here in Christchurch, his doctors ( althought they REALLY press him to have the PEG, our friends, this website and others.

What makes this forum so unique is that ALL but ALL opinions and views on any subjects are freely expressed. If you really want to help, it needs to stay this way.

In the light of the respond to this topic, Brian you might a have a great idea in having a "PEG" subject in itself.

PS: His beard is starting to grow again!!!
