He showed me it on the little monitor. I saw my sinuses, throat and stomach. You guys should see how disgusting the mucous in your sinuses looks. Even worse is the PEG tube. It was tan and almost looked like a small donut. Boy I cant wait to be rid of that thing! Wed. is my PEG/port appointment, so very soon I will be free from my accessories.
I did give my ENT some OCF brochures to hand out. The nurses are ready to join us for the Lehigh Valley OCF walk in the spring.
