Now in all honesty I never pictured you in that light. giddy up

gal...LOL. I might just have to make a trip up there afterall. I

have never seen real snow, maybe I can make a winter trip. Guess I

better get a job so I can have the $$ to make any kind of trip.

Beleive it or not a few years ago I used to be a farmers wife as

well. Didn't eat anything that wasn't organic, home grown, took my

veggies to the shrimp docs and traded for fresh seafood. Had goats

ducks, geese, guinea hens, a pony and about 28 laying hens. (took

deviled eggs to every potluck). We lost all of our equipment in a

hurricane along with most and all the animals except for one really

nasty old billy goat.

I still believe that cp illecits an inflammatory response. I always

had a low grade temp like I told you earlier. I know my normal temp

is in the 97's. While trying to get pregant I took my basal temp

every day for over a year. It was so low, 95's, that I had to add

chart lines and the numbers at the bottom of the printed chart.

Anyway I always had this image in my mind of my panc being inflamed,

even tho I dont recall ever seeing that written on any transciption

of any kind. so maybe it is an image thing. but any disruption in

the body's natural homeostasis has to cause some from of inflammatory

response with or without the immune reaction as you had written. It

just makes sense to me, but I could be way off base. I think you hit

it straight on the head when you wrote once that the knowledge base

of pancreactic disease today is similiar to the knowledge they had of

cardiac issues in the 1940's.

I am really exhausted, had a very long day. Saw the doc, I got a

script for more levaquin, oxy and zofran. The nausea is better but I

like to keep it on hand. I asked how much longer should I be in pain

and he said it would take a while. That was rather deflating to say

the least. My eldest needed glasses so after lunch I had to take her

to pick some out. Picking out glasses with a 19 year old girl is

tiring to say the very least. I think I may have over done it a bit,

again and dont feel very well. I'll be ok, just wish, like all of us

do, that this would just end.

I did meet Angie tho and that was very very nice. She is a lovely

young woman, attractive and looked very well for somebody who just

had surgery 2 weeks ago. We had a nice but short chat as we both had

things to do and people with us. The pleasant and positive attitude

she has in her post is very evident in her smile and warmth. It was

truly a pleasure to meet her.

I hope you are doing well and by the way how do you carry all that

water. Are you driving a tractor???
