Although I can still quite happily throw pies and beer down my throat, I have noticed that my breathing is becoming more limited - so my medical people have suggested I get my PEG done.
This is apparently because breathing is the limiting factor, and if you can't lie on your back and breathe on your own they can't do the procedure "the easy way".
I see their point, but it just seems strange that I will be left with a tube sticking out of my abdomen for the rest of my life when eating normally isn't a problem (yet).
Will someone please tell me to stop being a big girl's blouse and just let the medics get on with it, and it's the sensible thing to do, and it will be fine, and it is easy to live with (or not as the case may be).
