Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Kimber, I know that you have end stage CP. I just got my medical records from my GI doc and he says that I have end stage CP. Does that mean that your pancreas isn't functioning normal or what exactly do they mean by end stage. Thanks Take Care, Louie in WV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Louie, I'm not too clear as what makes one end-stage and what doesn't. I think the daily pain may be part of this and also the fact that my only other option besides pain meds is surgery, all of which don't have a really good success rate in my opinion. I'll see what I can dig up over the next couple of days on the internet. kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

It would seem that there is no set rules at this point. If I can locate it again, I will post the link. -Ellen Long Island, NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Louie, I'm doing fine. Been offline because I went to a convention over the holiday weekend, though I brought my laptop so I could check on the group, I was too tired at the end of each day to actually plug it in and turn it on. So, I hope you are doing as well as can be too. kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Actually Worldcon is scifi and fantasy con too. It's not geared toward any one type of scifi or fantasy though. It has a lot of panels on writing, discussion various scifi/fantasy television (Buffy the Vampire Slayer had lots of panels -which I had to got to). There were quite a few really good costumes. It's a five day convention. It was quite a bit of fun. It had some science in it, but mixed with scifi and fantasy topics. Though Dragoncon sounds just as good. . I used to work for a three day Star Trek and Doctor Who convention called Timecon. Unfortunately, it was mismanaged and ended up in the dust. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...
