J-tube

So, this feeding tube on my face has been getting a wee bit annoying... And when I met with my doctor on Wednesday, he suggested having a jejunostomy tube inserted.  So, a week from Monday I will meet with a surgeon to discuss the insertion of just such a tube.  Hopefully it will be inserted over spring break so I won't have to miss any school.  It's not the ideal situation, but it does have major benefits such as, not being on my face, not being down my throat or pushing awkwardly on my uvula, and it is swimmable, which is kind of sweet.  Once it's inserted, I'm thinking of looking at my alternative medicine options since the regular doctor stuff seems to have run out,  it's a party peeps.
