Finally got the damaged PEG replaced. Now I can feed again!

Awaiting the Immunotherapy treatment today. I will be getting two different types of Immunotherapy.

We are working on offers for the house so that is coming together too.

I had a weird weight discrepancy that we are going to get weighed properly on a normal medical scale.

If it holds to be true I am going to ask some more questions to the doctors.

We met with doctor on Sunday who stated there will be another attempt made to put in the feeding tube on Monday.
I’ve hope for it, and want the food one way or another.

we will be getting a feeding tube put in this week. Duration is 3-6 months. The tube was decided to be the best option.

The problem with my stomach blockage was resolved with a little bit of self-medical experiment.

Thanks to Cran-Grape, I swallowed a 4oz size and braced for the results. Yeah, it hurt like hell for about 20 seconds.

Then things began to flow. Finally!

So the following things are off the menu. No crackers, breads, etc. Even eggs are off too.

So onto the next step.

Good morning,
I am continuing to improve, and I have been able to return to more normal foods. It has been a rough week, for sure. As many know, the medical debt I incurred has been rough, but I am working on it.

The medical debt will include the payments we have to make to the VA debt bill. Thankfully, this issue can be handled without too much stress. The outrageous medical bill from an ambulance ride and the for-profit hospital bill are a bit more disconcerting.

I am still healing, and I discovered that some diet-based foods have certain types of sugars that can be like eating fire as my esophagus, which is still raw from the peptic ulcer, reacts. So, that requires certain finess to figure out what is good and not so good.

At least the grits I am going to make will work great and thank goodness for my little rice cooker. They come out great!

Everybody have a great day.
