hey mark -
yeah, that is one of the things that i really didnt understand is why only remove one. i had mine out when i was 6 and have successfully lived with them for 40 years so far. there was a time when they removed them and then they quit - i know my brother has had tonsilitis all his life! but i guess they only remove the necessary parts. i just pray that they never have to go and take the other one after what he went thru with the first one - but that still doesnt help my not understanding why they didnt take both of them while they were there, to me it would be logical to do that....but then i'm not the doc and havent gone thru years of medical school either! (tho right now i am truly getting quite an education that i had never imagined!)
has anyone that has had the PEG tube experienced a "lowgie" feeling (thats a jc word meaning sluggish i think) after feeding? is that normal? he is very sleepy and tired after feeding (i already know he has to sit up for an hour after feeding)
