    10 days!

    I've had it for 10 days now.  I feel better now than I have for months.

    Peg tube "necklace" LOL

    Lornal:

    I used shoelaces to hold the PEG tube.  Go out and buy several cotton shoelaces..... I bought white and black ones.  You want to make yourself a necklace by tying 2 shoelaces together if needed, and looping the shoelace through the little hinge on the tube clasp thingy.  I used one even in the shower, then put on a fresh (dry) one after and let the first one dry out.... I never had any problems.

    Also, if you can get an "I D Badge clip" from an office supply store, you can tie the clip to the PEG tube and then clip it your bra, cammi or shirt.

    GOOD LUCK,

    Ingrid
