pancreatitis

[Guest guest]

Hello my friends,

My thoughts have been with all of you all week. I miss talking with you all &

pray for you all daily. My new job is nice & very challenging. I have never

been an office manager so it should be interesting. I am not a real assertive

person so it will be a challenge for me but I am pretty confident I will do

fine. The girls are all young enough to be my daughters so I feel like the Mom.

I definitely know how to do that but I tend to be a co-dependent at times

so..... we'll see. At least I am aware.

Anyway, in the health department. I was feeling pretty darn good & wham! It

hit me like a brick last night. The same old pain I have grown to know & HATE.

I will go back on my enzymes & prilosec today & call my G.I. doc. What I fear

is that going so long with gallbladder disease has damaged my pancreas

permanently. I am also concerned about Lupus as it was mentioned to me but

never followed up on. I did have a positive ANA last year & was diagnosed with

fibromyalgia years ago. My lower back on both sides (haunches), hurt/ache alot

& this is gross but my urine has a brownish tint. I know Lupus can affect the

kidneys so that concerns me quite a bit. I have alot of issues to discuss with

my G.I. so I will put in a call today.

To the person who's husband is in the nursing home (I'm sorry my short term

memory stinks); I don't know if you work or stay home but my suggestion (& it

is only a suggestion) is if you are able, bring him home & check into home

health care. They tried putting my Mom in a nursing home straight out of the

hospital & we brought her home. It was alot of work but worth it in the end.

We did the same for my Father & my Brother. My prayers are with you & your

husband.

Hugs to all,

K.
