Everything is healing up nicley. The doc took out the stiches in the neck on Monday.

So....I'm down to ONE major problem.

I still can't swallow well enough to get the nutrition in me I really, really need to heal at 100%. It's just too darn slow. It's not that the swallowing is painful....just not effective enough. Everytime I take a sip of boost (or something like it) I have to swallow about 6 times to get it down and not sure it's ALL goin down the tube it's suppossed to (that's just a small sip!!!). Just too much trouble. I'm seeing my main Dr this coming Wed and pretty sure he's going to set me up to have the PEG installed. It's not that want the PEG...because that just one more thing I have to 'ween' myself off of down the road, but, I MUST have nutrition and would welcome something that will get the job done RIGHT NOW!!!

I'm getting my 'hydration' through my port at the moment. The PEG could kill two bird with one stone.

Anybody got any hints on how to use the PEG. The do and don't dos, etc. I may have this puppy a while????

Oh well....like I said....everything else is coming along just fine and am CANCER FREE as far as any tests can tell at the moment. That's the main thing. The PEG thing is just a little bump in the road.
