Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for the reply ... I think the hospital is trying to pass the buck in taking the blame for breaking the tooth which is making me more mad. But the air still is stuck in me and I'm still sore and even to take a deep breath I'm in some pain .. I try not to take any extra meds ... but thats just me. And as for the uvula I have to keep my mouth hydrated if not it gets really dry and raspy... The hospital said that by Monday they would give me an answer to " if there gonna cover to fix my tooth! " I guess they don't know the meaning of really pissing the patient ... to top it off I used to work at that hospital for 9 years so I know the ropes ... I guess we shall see ;o) Marisol PSC 2005 > > > I had my ERCP 2 days ago with a new machine .. what I got out of > it.. well first they broke a crown in the front of my mouth after I > told multiple times to be careful !!!!! they must have left a lot of > air in me cause I feel like a balloon and it hurts .. and my uvula > loks like it was burned raw !!!! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi Marisol, I really hope the hospital covers the broken crown - at least partly if they refuse to take all the blame for it. I will keep my fingers crossed that they pay for all of it! I am all for not taking any unnecessary medication but in Eemeli's case one dose of oxinorm took the pain away (although I thought it would not be enough seeing him cramping with pain and whining which he does not do easily although he is 12). When the pain was away, he could move and that helped get the air out of his system. The ERC was on Thursday and today (Saturday) he was out chopping some wood. Unbelievable. I can't keep up: first all the preop stuff, hospital crap (changing rooms twice the first night in the middle of the colonsteril drinking among other things), two procedures in one day, the bad pain episode and worry about possible pancreatitis, roommate having high fever and fainting one night most likely due to a side-effect of cipro (I was in the room and the nurse needed help) - and today, the my kid is chopping wood like nothing out of the ordinary ever took place. What was the new machine they used for your ERC? Do you know what was different about it or did they just not know how to use it without hurting your throat?
