    Wow, interesting viewpoint on the PICC ane PEG
    I think I'm going to come at that one from a different perspective. I'm going to have to. I'm already scrawny; I' think I'm down some 5 or 10 pounds from stress, worry, and the tonsillectomy. I see the PICC and PEG as tools to facilitate my status as a SURVIVOR. Hell, I'm already a patient. And, I'm already pretty public. I've been sniveling in front of just about everyone.

    WEIGHT
    Deb,

    The 1st surgery took 16 pounds from me. I am 6-2 and weighed 232. Down to 216. Was able to gain back 4 pounds before port and peg. Bought a scale Tuesday 2nd surgery Wednesday. Now down to 209. 210 is just about right for me. So while I had it to lose, hindsight is 20-20
    on this one. Glad I opted for them, hope I don't need one of them. And so the battle rages on!! Consider all options, but you choose. We are fighting this monster together!!

    Sniveling but not Cowardly,
    Steve

    whining is ok
    God bless you, Pam. I can't help with your questions but wanted to say that it is ok to whine sometimes. I don't believe one of us could say we've never whined, so if it helps you, GO AHEAD AND WHINE!! You have our permission....lol. Good luck with the eating and may God bless you.

    Grumpy
    LOL, I was so grumpy one time that I griped at my wife because she was making too much noise taking a fork out of the drawer....

    She kept me in line though, and you quickly learn who takes care of you in those situations when even the best of your friends don't seem to be there for you anymore.

    Sometimes you get to the point that you have no humility any longer...that's when you true frineds are there for you.

    I found out that my best friend and companion was defintiely my wife.

    I guess instances like these do truely test the level of friendships that you have or think you have.

    I have one friend, that still won't talk with me or communicate any longer because of me having cancer. It hurts knowing that you have someone that feels that way. And in all fairness I can understand his logic, it doesn]t make it any easier though. Shortly after I was diagnosed his father passed away. So somehow he relates me and cancer with the memories of his father.
