Hot tubbing and swimming with a PEG tube

There is quite some controversy, do or don't swim with a PEG tube. A small square of Press'n Seal may be the most economical way to keep the PEG tube somewhat dry.

These large Waterproof Pads may be the most reliable solution.

What is ALS

Not many people know much about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. Once you learn to spell it and begin looking for information you can find out all you want to know. Some of the best information comes in a series of manuals produced by the ALS Association.

The manuals can be found here. I second the ALS's recommendation. Whether a PALS (Person with ALS), a caregiver, family or friend, only read the manual that is relevant at the time and for the circumstances being experienced. Otherwise you may be overwhelmed.
