I am still trying to pick myself up off the floor after reading larry-b's post. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. I had my peg tube removed in Oct.It looked like a minature plunger on the end (about the size of a quarter). They just pulled it out, the nurse told me it would hurt and held my hand.It was like giving birth very quickly,Was very glad to see it come out!!All in all it wasn't that bad,I was a little sad to see it go, after all it was my lifeline for a year. PS. I won't eat beans for awhile!! Gwen
