To Chrissie

[Guest guest]

Hi Chrissie,

Sorry to hear that you've not been too well. I haven't been on the

computer for a few days, as i've been working and didn't get the

chance (there is always a queue in our house with the kids using it

for homework etc - at least that's what they tell me!!).

Anyway, how are you doing now? Fliss menioned to me that you were

considering a TP. As you know, i have had it done - without the ICT.

It is a really big decision, and, of course, very individual. I had

mine in August, 2000. Then, last November, i had further surgery to

remove the piece of pancreas that was left which was preserving the

blood supply to the doudenum. Since my last surgery my diabetes has

been a little more difficult to control, but it's nothing i can't

handle. I soon got used to giving myself the injections and

monitoring my blood sugars. For me, my quality of life has been

drastically improved by the surgery and i am glad i had it done, even

despite needing the additional surgery in November.

I hope that things are improving for you now. If i can help with any

more information, please contact me.

Best wishes,

Sue (UK)
