Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hi everyone. My name is Chelsey, I am 22, and I live in Texas. I joined your group today because I just found out that my dad has pancreatitis. He has been in this hospital all week with nothing to eat or drink since Sunday, not even clear liquids. My family and I are very scared right now and of course, a little confued. The surgeon, that has been seeing him since he got to the hospital, is very " wishy-washy " . He never sticks by anything he says, and it always changes. He's always saying, " well I think... " , or " I'm not positive, but... " , " well, my opinion is that... " , " sometimes " , " usually " , etc., etc., etc. It is very frustrating. He didn't tell us anything about this disease just that it was of a disease of the pancreas, hence the name pancreatitis. So anyway, we left the hospital feeling discouraged, scared, confused, angry, a whole range of emotions. And we didn't know what to expect next so we looked it up on the old faithful internet. So now I know a little, but I am still very confused and I want to know what we can expect in the next few days, weeks, years, forever. I am hoping that this group can help fill in some of the very large blanks for my family and me. My mom has Bechets and their online group is just awesome. Sometimes I don't know what we would have done without them. I am hoping that I can get the same bond and support here. Thanks so much for being there and God bless you and be with you always...
