I agree about the PEG Pete. I hated the nasal tubes. Mine worked its way up and halfway out one night and was quite painful. The doctor finally came in about 4 AM and still refused to take it out. The staple removal is fun. I had an intern removing the staples from my leg and everytime I would say ouch he would start apologizing. I got to giggling so hard that I almost cried.

You sound as if you are doing very well. Do they have you sucking on those great little sponges on a stick yet??
