If you are implying that I'm stubborn..............boy are you correct. I was so sure I'd be off this tube by now but I can see it's going to be along road to that day so now my mind has turned to getting the best nutrition I can get via peg tube. I've managed to put weight on, but want to get back to my normal 125. Thanks for the advice and I'll let you know if it works.
Take care,
Minnie
