I've lost count of how long its been now since Herself has been herself. basically, I think, since she has had this new feeding tube fitted. We went to the doc initially because the stoma was a bit messy & there was a hard lump to one side of the stoma. We started out with antibiotics switching to an anti fungal following test results, then back to anti bi's when the fungal thing was cleared up, but she was still swollen & tender. We are hopefully seeing the specialist on Tuesday. We both agree that he can take his new fitting & put it where the monkey put the peanuts. We will be quite happy if he puts the old type PEG tube back. At least Jude can operate that on her own, which she cant with the new one. She really doesn't need another reminder of motor skills that she is slowly losing.
On the plus side, Herself's new lazyboy chair has arrived. Its one of those extremely expensive powered jobbys that tilt forward far enough to make standing up a lot easier. I also found this gem on the net.....
