Checking in on ya'll

[Guest guest]

Vicky; my heart goes out to you and your husband. I am so very

sorry that ya'll have had to go through such a difficult time. You

are most definetly in my prayers. Heidi good luck with the US

tomorrow; dont start worrying about surgery just yet; trust your

heart, you'll know. You have an excellent GI who I am sure will not

steer you wrong. Deanna I know a lot of people who have taken

melatonin for sleep and think its great. I've never taken it; I

like to sip tea and read a little. Fred you are a wonderful husband

to take such thorough care of your wife. She is very fortunate to

have you and to have had the 3 good years since the

sphincteroplasty. You have gotten some good advice from so many on

this board there is nothing I need to add except we're glad to have

you and keep in touch. Tammy you certainly have had a scare feel

free to discuss anything you wish. We all remember how difficult it

was when we found out we were ill. My children were young when I

was diagnosed, as many others here, and it is hard with a family.

The stent pull went well today. None of my worse imaginings

occurred...nothing is as bad as I imagine. I have a very sore

throat and am very achey. The endoscopist really could not tell me

much, He didn't stick around long enough to examine the sphincter

or duct to see in there had been any inflamatory changes; he

just " grabbed the stent and ran " ; his words and I cant say that I

blame him...lol I'm not an easy patient. Jean 'sand " are pecan

shortbread cookies that are rolled in XXXXsugar. I was informed

today in no uncertain terms that Santa can NOT have store bought

cookies; guess that means I have to make the magic reindeer food

too; certainly cant give the reindeer store bought grains!!!

Warmly
