  Glad to hear that you are still able to eat and drink.  Hope you are feeling a little better.
  For me I have a love/hate relationship with my tube.  Ive never quite adjusted to the idea of having to depend on it to get my nutrition.  But, I also know it has saved my life when I was unable to eat or drink.
