Today's dilation procedure kept to the idea that important anniversaries, predictions for cataclysmic events and good things happen in numbers easily divisible by 10. After being stalled at 15 mm for the last 8 months or so things moved forward today and they were able to dilate the esophagus to 16.5 mm. (A 21% improvement in volume) The ultimate goal is of course to get to somewhere greater than 20 but if the next few are successful I may be able to get there by fall.
I also had my PEG tube replaced today. They still won't let me get rid of it and the balloon burst on the one I had. Now I have a for real mic-key button tube. My model had been discontinued.
Now I am plotting what to try my new found capability on.

Greetings Culinary Creature!
Inquiring minds want to know! What have you been eating? This is prime picnic and cookout time, so there are opportunities abound. A coney with no bun? Baked beans, watermelon? If I were you and could afford to put on a few pounds, I think I would be at an ice cream stand every day ordering a large chocolate/vanilla twist!
I hope you are well and making some progress.
