Hi
Just have a few questions about feeding tubes. I think i have read most of the past posts re the peg. I also watched the very informative video from the als association regarding swallowing and feeding tubes.*
I was just wondering if anyone ever regretted getting a peg? (weird question i know but worth asking). Has anyone experienced their peg falling out or being pulled out by mistake? I am assuming that there is one type of tube. Could there be more to choose from? According to what i have read, it seems pretty easy to take care of. Any helpful tips?*Btw, thanks rose and others for sharing the blender food websites. They are helpful.
I know some of you are relieved and very satisfied with the peg. I didn't think i wanted a peg but choked on food the other night and had a really good scare and really scared everybody else. So, after a good cry, thought i'd start asking around since my next als clinic visit is in a few mths. Thanks y'all eh!*
