100% occlusion! But, having lost my Dad in a situation similar to hubby's, I wasn't going to holler too much. If meds will do the trick, I'd rather that than surgery. It's just a bear to get him to take the meds on a timely schedule. Mom used to hide her in the sofa cushions, I discovered. I had a tuxedo cat that used to hide the pills I gave her in her cheeks and then drop them behind the sofa when I wasn't looking. Honestly!!! The ingenuity just to NOT take a pill! (LOL)
