Yesterday I was reminded that I still have some way to go as I prompted my first ever emergency call for an Ambulance. I had had some stomach pains through the day and because of that had not...

Nothing much to report as pretty much all I did yesterday was two things; Sleep and visit the dentist. From the exhausting day before I seemed to just sleep all morning until about 2pm when Alan...

Yesterday I probably pushed it a bit far and was really feeling sore last night and even more so this morning. What was I doing? Juliet made a visit in the morning which was great, Had breakfast,...

Nothing funny in my post today so I thought I should start off with a bad cancer joke “I’ve just been diagnosed with a tumour. I was horrified at first, but it’s starting to grow on me” Anyway...

Yesterday was a relatively good day where I managed to eat mashed potato (amazing I know!) and went for a walk beyond level 10 of St Vincent’s hospital which was even more exciting. Unfortunately...

Had the Nasogastric tube removed yesterday, although I was a little apprehensive if it would help with the Phlegm issue and swallowing it had a major effect? Within 4 hours of it being removed...

Finally a blog post from me instead of Kirsten on how I am progressing. Going into this operation I thought after a few days I would be fine to be browsing the internet, watching tv, have visitors...

I’m a bit late on the blogging for yesterday…Spiros was doing better and enjoyed a visit from Zoe. On Sunday they will take the feeding tube out so hopefully he will have nothing attached to him....

Hi all – no visitors tonight. Today the surgeon had a look down Spiros’ throat to check on progress. The good news is the throat is healing well, however the process of putting a strobe down his...
