Not much to post today except that there has been a continued problem with the stomach which is stopping me from eating much, giving me a sore stomach and other things related to poo that I won’t...

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...

Managed to rest a lot more yesterday and felt much better because of it. Although I am very frustrated at how long it is taking to be able to eat. I am desperate to eat more food but the whole...

So I finally got out of the hospital and made it home. It was a very exhausting day as I settled in but was very good to have some sleep in my own bed. Unfortunately, being released from hospital...

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...

For more complete update make sure you read yesterday’s post here The cable is now out and am accelerating too getting out of here. Not only have I drunk about 100ml of fluids I swallowed some...

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...

Not a lot to report. No real change from yesterday. Last night sleep was a challenge. Tomorrow he will have the doctors appointment to assess healing of wound. 2 Comments Rachelle 24th Sep 2015 -...
