Re: Man, oh, man - what a week and a half...

It sounds like you wrote almost word for word what my husband just

went through. My husband also had his gall bladder removed, although

9 years ago. He was also just hospitalized twice in a week and a

half with about the same symptoms. I was so frustrated when the docs

couldn't really give us a straight answer of what was happening. He

was also put on an IV and antibiotics, then released. We are

currently waiting on a call from the University to see their opinion

on everything. My husband goes to the University of Washington's

transplant clinic once a year to keep " current " in their records.

The visit is always pretty short and we always leave knowing he's

not ready for a transplant yet. I hope making the trip to the

University, for you, gives you some comfort in knowing he will have

a great medical team behind him if he ever needs. It's all so

confusing and frustrating at times. I'm so glad this group gives so

much hope and understanding that we are not alone, even when it

feels sometimes that we are.
