Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 I was on TPN for about 5 months one time. I did fine. Actually TPN made me feel alot stronger while resting my pancreas.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 Dear Bull, I'm so sorry that you're struggling so much right now. What you've been through and are going through is obviously very traumatic and painful, and understandably quite exhausting. I can appreciate the feeling of just wanting to give up - you're so worn down by now and just exhausted. I'm just very sorry, and I will add you to my prayer list, in fact have already done so. I wish you the very best, and hope for you - patience, some encouragement, good news, a break, a breakthrough, better health, and greatly improved health care. God bless and keep you, friend.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Bull, I was on vacation and just now tryoing to get caught up on my e-mails. Sorry that you have been thru so much. When you said that you were in OSU Medical Center, did you mean Ohio State U Medical Center or someplace else. I have been in Ohio State U MC and that's where I had my Whipple done in 94 by Dr Ellison to remove the head of my pancreas, But I have ask him to remove the rest of it and he now refuses to, due to the fact that I would be a brittle diabetic and they would be able to contol the diabetes. He is a good doctor if you do need surgery. Sometimes I feel he is a little too conserative. But that's better than being too agressive. I hope you are feeling better now and the TPN is working.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 Louie, Thanks for the information. Yes I was in OSU MC in July and then in the local hospital for the Sepsis. Dr. Ellison is my surgeon at OSU and he wants to do surgery removing the tail of my pancreas due to necrosis and a lesion in the duct. My pancreas is still so inflamed that we aren't planning on this procedure until after the beginning of the year. A year ago I would have said no way the the past four months have convinced me that just about anything is better than living with this constant pain. Best wishes, Bull > Bull, > I was on vacation and just now tryoing to get caught up on my e- mails. > Sorry that you have been thru so much.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 Louie, Thanks for the information. Yes I was in OSU MC in July and then in the local hospital for the Sepsis. Dr. Ellison is my surgeon at OSU and he wants to do surgery removing the tail of my pancreas due to necrosis and a lesion in the duct. My pancreas is still so inflamed that we aren't planning on this procedure until after the beginning of the year. A year ago I would have said no way the the past four months have convinced me that just about anything is better than living with this constant pain. Best wishes, Bull > Bull, > I was on vacation and just now tryoing to get caught up on my e- mails. > Sorry that you have been thru so much. When you said that you were in OSU > Medical Center, did you mean Ohio State U Medical Center or someplace else. > I have been in Ohio State U MC and that's where I had my Whipple done in 94 > by Dr Ellison to remove the head of my pancreas, But I have ask him > to remove the rest of it and he now refuses to, due to the fact that I would > be a brittle diabetic and they would be able to contol the diabetes.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 Bull, I sure you will be pleased with dr. Ellison. One good thing about him is he doesn't rush you out of the hospital until you are fully recovered to take care of yourself at home. If I'm ever at OSU and ran into Dr Ellison, he still remembers me and ask how I doing. He is a very caring man. I just wish there was something more he could do for me. That's how much I trust this man. I have had some docs and hospital send me home before I was recovered and only then I ended up back up in the hospital. Good luck with you surgery and I hope the inflamation settles down soon and you get some well deserved releif.
