I am enjoying myself -- Even talked the Cutthroat Team in the AM into letting me pull the last drain after one of them removed the sutures -- More difficult than I thought, but it was the last one and had been in there for a while -- Then two of them ganged up on me and removed the 40 wire staples... Getting good at cleaning the trach cannula.

I just realized there is a very positive benefit to having PEG installed before the major surgery -- They didn't put in naso-gastric tubes!! I especially don't miss the one with the three sutures through my scepula!
