If I'm I getting this right I would most likely be better with a peg tube and still drink all I can thur mouth to help keep it moist and so it won't be a problem with swallowing later and useing the peg for high engery drinks, when I just can't eat. and to get plenty of water in me, no mather what.
I think I knew about driving....lol I was just hopping that I would have a few better days, like week-end when I didn't get the radation. I don't feel like cleaning house now, so I gusse I had better start planning. I have about 6 weeks before they start, they want me to come back on the 2nd. of Sept. Now I'm wondering about the 5 teeth that I have it's set up with a lot of medal to hold the bidge. He ask me if it was wired in. I told him no. it was put in over 40 years ago, it is cemented in good. He just wrote it down, I wish he had told me. I most likely have filling in the teeth, it's been so long I don't remember.
Thanks Wilma
