Don, my tube is the thru the wall of the stomach type, and I'm recommending it. I take some stuff through a pump, on the preliminary run up now, increase the dosage until I go home. Tasty (can't taste a thing). The thru the nose one I have too, and it's messy, and it's coming out this morning, interferes with swallowing and pulls. The other one is a few minutes pain, I think from into the room until out took about 30 minutes. A bit sore the next day but what the hey.

I thought I was in NASA, you know us backwoods canucks, they had 6 Big screen tv's bopping around on some huge scoreboard and not even any sign of a hockey game. That pump they hooked the thing up to is running all night just a tease, but up to full bore sometime to day. Then they are going to feed me all night and I can do whatever all day. They grind up stuff like meds and throw them into a syringe and whack that into there too. Seems like a good deal to John. Now I 'd rather be tasting the beans and maple syriop but they've fried my taste buds with the radiation so that's out.

The nurses are keeping me going, and vice and versa. Same day, second verse.

They now say it's going to be Monday but probably Tuesday before I head home meaning I've spent a week here in solitary, (well the wife and kids and Mom and Dad have made it in), but private room with a view of the lightinin' show.

Tc you old galatte, tuck yer pants into yer wellies, the water's risin'.
