I am out of the hospital again...

May 7, 2005

I did a couple day stint in the hospital. They did another ERCP to see

what was causing my pain in the area for my biliary tree of my liver.

The expanded all of my ducts including the new plumbing that they had

to do a couple of years ago(choledochal cyst removal). They had to use

a local on me because the conscious sidation no longer works long

enough. I don't remember anything, which was great. While I was in the

recovery room coming to I woke to the worst pain ever. They were able

to get it controlled really quickly. So far I am dealing with the pain

from the ERCP and CP. They are mostly confident that all of my pain is

related to CP. I will not be have any more ERCP's for a while.

Now all I have to do is get togeather with my primary care doc and get

a permanent pain management system underway. I really like the

methadone and oxycodone combination it works really well and is really

inexpensive. The only side effect from it is a have tremors/shakes.

Has anyone delt with these? It is nice to be home. I slept for many

hours yesterday.

As a side note. My parents have been so aswome. They have been running

me to and from U of W hospital. It is 40 miles a way. I have a hard

enough time driving to see my primary care doc. Again, I am so

greatfull for my parents. They are leaving on vacation this next week

I hope they have a great time they sure deserve it.
