My lung function has been deteriorating due to ALS, so I had a feeding tube inserted. I discuss why I made the decision to get the PEG tube, even though I don't need it for nutrition yet. I talk about the procedure, recovery, and usefulness (apart from feeding). And my wife, Kristin, talks about how to care for it and useful tips.
