Broadcasting to you LIVE from beautiful downtown (sorta) Kansas City, KS. We're here at the beautiful University of Kansas Medical Center and we're ready for some excitement.
Well, we are at KU Med Center, anyway. They have internet access available in the rooms so I thought I'd take advantage.
Had my surgery today to install my PEG Tube and my Port. For those who don't recognize the term PEG Tube you probably know it by it's non-abbreviated name; Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy tube. :)
Jenny spent the day with down here and, I think, read an entire book. Close to it any way. Lot's of sitting and waiting. The Port -- at this point -- is no biggie whatsoever. Hardly know it's there. The PEG Tube is a little sore. You mess with stomach muscles and it just hurts. But not bad.
I get to spend the night tonight so that they can test the PEG to make sure everything's installed correctly. Should be going home mid-afternoon tomorrow.
GAWD I'm hungry and thirsty. I'm not quite half-way through my "no food or water" period from this morning to tomorrow morning after the tests. Gonna have to gorge this weekend if I want to be thinking about that 10 lbs.
