Kim and Donna,
I had problem similar to you, Kim. My computer at home crashed and I haven't been able to come here for 4 days....hard to take!!
Re: the PEG , mine is attached with that weak little white tape that they use at the hospital. I constantly change the tape since it gets weak when I shower. But for the most part the thing stays in place. Regarding the mucous at night: I have found that using my little suction machine next to the bed is an improvement over when I used to go through a box of Kleenex at night.

I did have a barium swallow yesterday...the therapist said that I did really well swallowing and that I should start trying to eat more. Funny how I am so comfortable with the PEG and kind of scared of eating! So yesterday I started with a can of chocolate boost...I took one sip and it kind of burned my tongue and I did not like it. So much for that. I tried pudding last week with similar results and not much better with apple sauce...Perhaps next I'll try oatmeal or scramble a soft egg. This stuff should not be so hard, but darn it, it is! I still have a lot of mucous and that makes it difficult too.
I also saw the dentist yesterday and he thinks that I should starty weaning myself from the Duralgesic 75. I started to go down to 50 and then 25 a couple of weeks back but the radiation oncologist encouraged me to keep a high dose. The thing is that I can nod off into a doze so easily while sitting around and I am pretty sure that it must be caused from the narcotics.
Anyway, my stomach may not be a six pack, but ain't no blob of jello neither!

Thanks for your interest and best luck to anyone,

Danny
