Oh my goodness, Kevin, that is quite a serious bout of hiccupping. Thank goodness for the calm head and helpful intervention of the young nurse.

Was the stent eventually replaced?

No. No one realized what was going on until I went home 12 days post surgery. I developed plural effusion which compressed my right lung and my liver resulting in a return trip to the hospital for another 12 days. During that stay, I had a thoracentesis with 500 ml taken out every other day until IVR finally intervened and put in a drain. It doesn’t end there, but the next phase is a story for another day.
