Glad you are getting the PEG max, and after a week of some discomfort I think you will be glad as well. You still have so much to contribute and you must have come to the same conclusion to decide to get the tube. Tim started on tube feeds this week after 2 years with his feeding tube in. It decreases the chances of him aspirating and getting pneumonia and is not any more trouble. Get better soon, and know that I will be praying for you.
