Hi to all,
Just a quick up date. I had PEG tube removed today. Had it for almost 9 mo. The procedure was not what I thought it would be. Talk about a surpise ! I thought they would use some special tool. NO! They just pulled it out!
It did hurt for a minute but all is fine now.
Now I know from reading here that I must really work at my eating and liquid intake. I am going to keep an eye on my weight.
Next visit for me is in Sept. with Oncologist. Then in Dec. with Head & Neck Surgeon.
I am at 6 Months:
I still have stiff neck R-Side, along with no feelings there and right shoulder.
Sometimes I feel like my head is pulling to one side.
My saliva is very little. Still dry mouth.
Need to work on building body strength.(later)
Still get tired, so I rest.
Well, that is it for me. So I will just continue to wait for the changes to happen one day at a time!
take care,
Diane
