A week or so after the stent was fitted things started to settle down for my husband. he found himself able to drink the super-calorific milkshakes with relative ease and managed a bowl of soup at the same time and speed as me. it felt like happier days were on their way.

The one in my brain seems to worry them the most as its...
Well my pops ended up back in hospital yesterday because his stents blocked AGAIN. Hes fed up as its only been 9 days since it was last unblocked but the tumour is growing that fast it keeps covering it. He hates going in but its the best place for him even though he hates the food and being away from home.
On the plus side his brother in law has arrived even though he had problems due to the snow so i know he will be eager to get home to see him so lets hope they unblock it today and we get to...
