At the Marsden for a PEG
3rd-7th January

They said I would be in for a night or two and was in for four, it seems this is the way it works, so when they said I would be well by Xmas I guess they mean February. The operation for this is horrible. All the action happens via endoscope where they push several tubes down your throat through your mouth. You cannot be in a general anasthetic so they heavily sedate you and you lumber in a haze through the most horrible procedure. All relatively uneventful although once again there was a fair amount of pain. They upped my Duralgesic Morphine patch to a 100 which delivers 100mg per hour.
