Charm,

The PEG won't be that bad. At least you are aware of the things that you should do to make sure that you can swallow again soon from being here. It will also allow you to keep up with your nutrition so that you have the energy to do the therapy required to swallow again.

I could barely swallow water when they first allowed me to try anything. Today I had three small, mushed up and soaked with syrup bites of a pancake at therapy and it was the BEST pancake that I every tasted. I was not given the barium test, but I understand that it is part of the esophogram scheduled for Monday.
