First I broke my hip and had to have a hip replacement, then I acquired what's called severe global peripheral neuropathy and on top of all of that I'm suffering from malnutrition. So they had to put in a feeding tube. Believe me, having a tube sticking out of my belly is no fun at all.

At first they wanted me to be hooked up to the machine 24 hours a day but that's just way too much. If you ask me; Thats inhumane. So what I've been doing, is disconnecting myself from it for a few hours a day just to give myself a break. I've already gained about 18 pounds in about 3 weeks so it looks like I'm going in the right direction.

Anyway, wish me luck on the tough road ahead.


Thanks,

Steve
