    Hi Janelle

    My Wife and I travel sometimes other times I travel by myself. For someone on a PEG tube I can’t be confined to just be at home. I was giving 6 months to a years to live back in 2006 and made it 8 years passed that, I am still working full time as a Maintenance Manager and going out to the ships when they come dockside. I was 230lbs before C and now I am 142lbs. There is a lot that I can’t do anymore but I am not dead so I am going to fight and do all I can do, with a little help. My traveling friend is a NutriBullet, I take it with me wherever I go so I can blend anything anywhere. I have a convertor hooked up on my work truck for 110 volts for places that don’t have outlets. Let your Dad know he can be himself again. I pull out my PEG tube when my wife and I go out to eat, I am not embarrass of it a bit, people look through the side of their eyes and think I don’t see them, I find children are not afraid to come and ask what are doing. I let my grandchildren help me push the syringe in so that they can understand Papa is normal he just eats different. My one granddaughter is amazed that I can eat and talk at the same time. Only in the mind of a child and it is too bad we can’t believe like a child that everything has a possibility.  If you like you can contact me anytime or call my wife and she will tell you all about what I eat and how she makes it.   Just click on my name Hondo my e-mail is there.

     

    All the best to your Dad

    Tim,

    Do you mind me asking what you do for dry mouth? Dad takes Salagen and uses Biotene spray...do you have any secrets we don't know about?
