    Thanks everybody for sharing thoughts and experiences around this.
    It's an issue I'm struggling with if the time comes where a feeding tube is recommended.

    I can get my head around accepting a colostomy / stoma for a long-term unrelated illness, because I'm aware of the advantages and potential quality of life advantages.

    My uncertainties around a feeding tube relate to some pre-MND diagnosis diaphragm and stomach problems (Crohn's and hiatus-hernia), regarding the practicalities around that, together with the psychological impact.

    I did see this useful decision aid link in Thumbprint Magazine though:-

    Nothing that serious yet I hope but left untreated it can also cause sepsis 😳😳😳

    Just a common post-op bacteria in exudate (30% occurrence apparently)…… if bits start dropping off me I will go back to the surgery 👍😅 xxx

    Everything is fine, but I did manage to get a nice little visitor in the wound by the name of staphylococcus. Just halfway through some antibiotics….trying to evict him as we speak 😅😅😅😘😘😘

    JamesW glad its all gone smoothly. I use mine for meds and water. It is quicker than trying to swallow.
