Nelie, really, I have always been somewhat jaded by the whole "medical world" anyway. I never got a sense there'd be much hand holding, and sometimes for this being a science, I wish that I would get more accurate answers.

Not one of the members of my medical team has pushed me to get off the PEG, but slowly and surely, my appetite is coming back and I make it a point to eat even if I'm not hungry. I've become a big fan of those buffet places that I can pick and choose what might work for me foodwise and they always have a soft serve ice cream machine that I make it a point to get several helpings of.

However, I am going to ask tomorrow about the followup plans. It would be so nice if there was a guidebook. Heck, I'm finding anymore that some of the most valuable information I get is right here on this particular forum. It definitely helps me ask better questions and at least understand the stuff.

To tell you the absolute truth, when they draw blood... I have NO clue as to what they are doing in the way of blood tests. Isn't that goofy? I've been getting my blood drawn all the time and I'm just clueless.
