Ex-TUBE-ation
Never thought we would be here. I remember in April I would read all the posts about people finishing treatment and PEGS removed and thought we would never be THERE. To those of you just starting out, it is a one day at a time process and time does move forward even though sometimes it does not feel like it. There are mile stones, but there is no end.
Love to all of you,
Kim

I remember how much I wanted to get rid of that doggone tube and how happy I was when I finally did.
And you have to admit, it leaves a really cool scar. I call mine my old war wound.
Congratulations!

I second the second belly button club to. So glad to hear the good news that Mark is doing so well. All of us have had some big, big challenges to overcome, but hearing the great progress Mark has made is very hopeful for us all.

Kim, you have been one truly strong person during this whole journey. Mark is quite fortunate to have you around to get as far as he has. In fact, we are all fortunate to have you around to make us think and question our ability to carry on.
Go look back to 4-14-2010 8:24am and read your initial post on here......"Newly Diagnosed, Need Help". Even then you "seemed" as though you had your act together. Congradulations to Mark, and hope the healing continues.

Done with that PEG !
Great news Kim for you and Mark. Nice for him to be able to do a full 360 when he is lying down now. Amazing how simple things in life are completely compromised with this blasted 'C', but Mark is now another big step in the right direction.
Scam
PS: If he tosses and turns at night, don't worry Kim, he is doing it because now ' HE CAN'.0 -
Yeaaaaaa!!Lena Rose said:That's great news Kim!
So happy to hear that Mark lost an extra appendage! Wishing you both continued healing and blessings.
What great news. Mark has done so great. His progress has been an inspiration.
I know Glenn will be really happy to get rid of that tube. It's really an annoyance to him especially now that he's starting to feel better.0 -

Hi Kim,
