I checked with a Gastro-Doc and he has fairly open schedule, so I should be able to get a good PEG this time around!
Decided I will make up wrist tags for my brachycardia (so they will set the pulse alarm thresholds low enough that I can go to sleep) and my enlarged prostate (So the Pee Police will not be on my case so quickly) and of course, I will put in the ear plugs before surgery so they will be in for the noisy ICU!
Now all I need is a surgery plan and date.
