blender

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...

I was going to post this on my blog (and still intend to) but, my blog is only visible to forum members, and I know we have many visitors who read here. The makers of the Vitamix Blender will extend a 25% discount for those who need a Vitamix out of medical necessity. I copied and pasted...

Well I contacted by dr today about having the peg tube put in. I don't want to do this, but it has become more & more difficult to chew & swallow food & meds. I have read some info on this, but would like to hear from people who have had it done. What was the procedure like? I know you can...
