jellybean,

I got my Peg and Port on the same day and like you I was sedated but not enough. I remember the PEG quite clearly and felt everything they did. The Port was a much nicer intallation. I have met several folks who were going through or went through chemo without one. I'm very glad I had a Port, I am Ok with needles but I couldn't imagine all those pokes or a picc line dangling. The Port made everything very easy and painless. I would only have it accessed for 2 days at a time. That way I could take a good shower every other day. Getting them out was really easy too.

Good Luck
Tim
