How long as Harald going to nil by mouth, (food wise it was about 6 wks for me, I seem to remember I was allowed to drink water though) The PEG is easy enough to deal with, and I hope his tracie is out soon.
I was off the morphine by the time I got the room 'with a view', my graft was from my arm and they had used a total nerve block on my arm which lasted quite a few days.
Also it's good to hear you a lot more upbeat in yourself.
Sunshine.. love and hugs
