Hi Bob,
The memory of my tube being removed is sooooo clear because I remember how surprised I was with the procedure. They really do just yank it out, no pomp and circumstance, no good bye ceremony!
I'm so happy that you're eating is progressing well, that makes us feel more on track then anything I believe.
Keep on living the good life. It will never be the same but it sure does take on an entire new meaning that we would have missed had our lives taken a different course.
