David,

I'm doing OK I guess. I'm 11 days out; I still have quite a bit of throat pain/discomfort when I swallow. I still have a 50 patch on but will drop that to 25 when this one comes off.

I've been eating by mouth the past couple of days and I even manage to get in 1 or 2 VHC everyday. I haven't gained any weight back, but eating is tough when you can't taste it as you know.

The thick mucous has let up a bit but it's still here. My blood chems were checked today and they say I'm fine now. I may get my PEG out at the end of the week. I can't remember did you say you had one? If so for how long?

Thanks for checking/asking
