ERCP Results - Rick (Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down)

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody - I appreciate everyone's support and all the

information and encouragement. They did the ERCP yesterday, and I

came home today. They did general anesthesia on me, and you don't

have to worry about me waking up during the procedure - I was out

for a LONG TIME.. They cut the Sphinkter (sp?) ring for the common

bile duct. Apparently I was having lots of spasms. Everything else

was clean. Looks like everything went well. Now get this - they

want me to INCREASE my fat intake - they think I've been too

restrictive. Well, I'm going to take that slow and see how things

go. I'm pretty week and wobbly, but I'm doing ok. I don't walk

very good yet, but that'll take time. We'll see how things go -

and I hope these new diet introductions go well. I seem pretty free

of pancreatitis pain right now, which is WONDERFUL! I'm really

thankful. thanks to everybody for all your support.

Dear Rick,

I'm glad your ERCP went well without any difficulties afterward, and that they

were able to remedy what needed to be done.

Keep a positive attitude and give yourself time to heal well. Good luck with

your new diet increase, just remember to take it very slowly, one day at a

time, and with moderation. Have a receptive ear to what your body is telling

you, and with adequate time, all should be well.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
