Re: 5% of the population-

First off your daughter sounds awsome for helping you out. I have a

little sister that is like that.

I am in Washington State, Tacoma.

I forgot about my primary care doc. She is totally awsome. She had two

patients like me in her residency. One almost exactly. She has been

more helpful than any of the local GI doc's. The GI doc's at the U of

Washington are totally awsome and helped out so much. They understood

not to go near my pancreas when they did the ERCP. That was awsome

because I only had to stay over night at the hospital.

A side effect of all of med's that I have been taking has caused me to

get tremor's/shakes my dad and grandmother had tremors also. My last

visit with my primary care doc prescribed antenolol which is for both

high blood presure(which I don't have) and treamors. It is working so

far.

I have been able to keep my blood sugar in check really well. I have a

really good endocrenologist(sp.)

I have been luck so far with dr.s I guess like I said it is probably

because of my really complicated inside (new plumbing) from that

surgery in Sept. 2000.

Take it slow and easy on yourself. Maybe take your daughter out when

you have more strength. When we have some special people like those

who help out it make thing just a bit easier. I wish a friend that I

had back in 2000 did get scared and run away from what I was going

through. That took sometime to get over. A 18 year relationship over

because I could no longer support them. Well enough said.....

Take care...

I have okay days usually followed by not so good days...but nothing

like what you have been through. I believe you get the most patiences

for a patient award!! :-)

I love summer time as long as I don't get too hot (which actually is

really hard for me to do) The warm sun on my skin is like those heated

blankets they bring to you in the hospital-wonderful! Keeping up with

my two boys on swim team keeps me busy, warm and tan!

I can't wait until you come by and visit in your Winnebago!! :-)

I pray you are feeling better as each day comes.
