Update on me.

I had my endoscopy and dilation yesterday! I can, somewhat, eat again. I will be having one a week for awhile. My blood tests showed my protein etc is very low so I will get a feeding tube on Wed. Not looking forward to it but that is that. I am feeling very peaceful about it. My blessing was that I am going to be fine and will recover fully. There was more and I feel at peace with everything. You folks had a lot to do with my serenity. Thank you so much! I appreciate having folks to talk with that understand my values and beliefs. Take care all. Grins, Kaye

I have worked w/2 different types of feeding tubes. The G-Tube and the J-tube. The J is the most commonly used I think it has a little tube that comes out of the belly. The G is like a button. I am sorry you have to go threw this!!! Take care of KAYE!! Love, Gala

WE are all on that same long journey and its great to have some traveling partners. Have a good one Alfie

Wow, what great news. How long will you have to have your feeding tube? What do you put through it? I know that some patients with feeding tubes have to use a special nutrient but that's for people who don't eat anything with their mouths. Will you also be able to chew food and eat? Keep us posted.
