Hi All,
Sorry I haven't been on line for a while, still getting used to this new site! My mum was taken back in hospital 01/10/09 wiith suspected chest infection which was clear but then her feeding peg came out and the hospital have been unable to re-site it. Absolute nightmare, all the weight my mum put on since being on the feeding peg slipped off her within 3 days and she is also starting to lose some of her hair, which I didn't realise could happen after having radio. She had a stent fitted on Wed and was in a lot of pain lat night, nurses said this can be expected for upto 5 days? She can only have fluids at the moment and ensure drinks. Anyone have any positive thoughts on the stent? Am hoping this will be a turning point for her and she will soon be able to live on a soft diet but haven't got much info about what happens after a stent is fitted. Thanks to anyone who has chance to respond to this.
Take care Jenxx
