Danny.. just wanted to let you know of a tape that we have sent out to patients who are long term IV users, it's called Hy-Tape. It's a pink fleshy colored waterproof tape that's really pretty good..I'll try to find out manufacturer when I go in to work on Monday. On the food issue, I found good results with the watermelon also (put it in the food chopper at first when mouth was real bad) then moved on to honeydew,cantalope and peaches.. anything really juicy and cold I was game for! smile

Hope today finds you feeling better!

Julie
