I sent this message once before with no response.  Is there anyone who knows
or who has themselves had a tube feed put in.  My mother-in-law has to get
one and is very scared.
 
She says she doesn't want one because she won't be able to taste her food.
I do believe that she'll still be able to eat, it's mostly because she is
not getting the full benefit of her medication, it melts in her mouth first.
She has a very hard time swallowing.  She just had the swallowing test, and
that when they decided.
 
Any responses to this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
Debra
