@lizzieqmention, I forgot to say where I live, in Northeast Indiana. I can see the Ohio state line from the front yard. It is terribly hot and humid. The cats and our Chihuahua are laying around as if in a trance. They like fans, so that helps. You have me wanting to try the stent again. When I used it the first time, it was hard to get it placed in the opening. It was becoming something dreaded to remove and clean, knowing I would have to put it back in again. It actually brought tears... stinging tears. Maybe it is the wrong size? One thing is sure, a person learns something new every day! Thank you for getting me to rethink this device. Please let me know if it is painful when you have to remove, etc.
