Advice & Tips
I haven't started using the PEG for its real purpose--to feed me when I can no longer eat by mouth. I've had it about a week and it's healing ok. Had some major pain the first night, but then each day after the pain has gotten better. This is a good way to add more fluids to the body, because I usually never drink 64 oz daily.
