Got the Peg

Atring took me to the doctor today to have a Peg inserted in my stomach. To say I was filled with trepidation is an understatement. But the hospital was very professional, and the doctor was good. I was out like a light...the surgery took about 15-20 minutes, and I was home before you know it. I am sore, but that is to be expected. I definitely recommend it to people who are not sure what to do. It isn't that bad, and it can only help you.
I read a lot of emails from other ALS patients, and some are against getting the Peg or the Vent. I am not sure why. But I know I want to live as long as possible and enjoy my wonderful family...avoid being a burden...and living in the beautiful world.
Thanks for reading...and when you get a chance....Tell Atring what a wonderful person she is..She really Is....
