Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Heidi I was whisked off to the hospital shortly after I read the info about the Puestow. The stents didn't work because my pancreas is too destroyed. I am left with the option of surgery. To be honest I am ready. I am so tired of struggling every day. this attack was the worst attack that I ever had. My lipase went over 600's. of course my amalase stayed normal. I should still be in the hospital, but my insurance won't let me stay in there. I have to keep my panc. as quiet as possible. All my DR's know that I am sitting on a tinder box ready to explode again. I am being so good as far as trying with all my sanity to stay quiet. I refuse to go back in unless I have e all the things wrapped up on what type of surgery I am having and when. I am kind of a mother hen sitting gently on her eggs and praying that they won't open because if they do they will explode. I hate this disease so much. I was once a bright, remember everything organized person. I now can't spell, I am so tired and right now I am living in fear because that last bout was so awful and painful. Thank you for all your readings. I now can go and meet with my surgeon and try and sound intelligent I will stay in touch everyone in this group keeps me going. I think if I didn't have this group I would be so lost. I know now that I can advacate for myself just from gaining all the readings from this group........Onwards to another adventure with pancreatitis Paget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Paget, when you decide on what surgery to have, let us know when and what hospital you will like to have cards sent to while you are in the hospital.
