Thanks for the concern, Don. No word yet on what comes next in my tube drama. I am still eating and drinking by mouth, but my throat and mouth get increasingly sore every day, so I'm sure something will have to happen soon.

I am glad to hear that your tube is working fine. It is kind of freaky isn't it? Having that thing hanging out there.

I'll let you know what happens next smile
