Regine
Another trip over to East Yorkshire today. I plan to see my brother Simon in hospital this morning and then on to Beverley to stay over night with my best friend Tony. We hope to go out for a country walk this afternoon and then we will have a meal out somewhere - maybe a curry. Tomorrow it's Hull City's last game of the season and we will be watching them play Nottingham Forest. They are entering the promotion play-offs and we avoided relegation. There's always next season to anticipate.
Simon had a stent fitted in his trachea to assist breathing earlier this week and this afternoon he is going to have another stent fitted in his oesophagus to assist eating. Over the telephone, I had a good chat with the senior nurse yesterday and she hopes that the second stent will allow him to eat solid foods once again. It has been two months since he last ate anything.
Until today I had no idea what one of these stents looks like or what it is made from. See top and bottom. Apparently they used quite frequently to help struggling cancer patients - opening up vital tubes.
