My mother completed radiation the same week that you did, and the only thing she can manage by mouth is water and a little tea. If you are eating any solid food, be thankful. It sounds like you're making great progress, although I can understand how slow it seems to you. My mother also is really anxious to get rid of her PEG, but we keep telling her that it has truly been a lifesaver.

If you can manage grits and eggs, have you tried putting other food in a food processor or blender? When my mom first started radiation, before she couldn't eat at all, one of her favorites was roast beef, creamed potatoes, and gravy purreed all together in the blender. And don't forget to add butter and cheese to those grits to add calories and protein!
