Tom, We have all rambled on occasion. I had a PEG and used it but also took David's advice and forced at least one meal down a day orally, and lots of water. And I had the added experience of getting an infection around my PEG entrance and ended up in the emergency room. Never did like it and got it out soon after treatments ended. It has been almost 5 months and most taste is back, some good, some different.
Jim, you need to keep your calorie count high, it does make a difference.
