Please forgive my mistake. You're right, I did misread your post and I'm so

sorry that I was so enthusiastic about what was apparently a very dangerous

and disappointing procedure. I'm sure you can understand that I was only

trying to see the positive when I unfortunately misread your statement.

I've had problems with the small print on this webpage when I use Internet

Explorer, and normally have to increase the text size to 120% in order to read

the posts. This time I hadn't. I realize that's a poor excuse for inaccuracy,

but that's what happened.

Your experience sounds very frightening, and I'm glad that there was blood

available to bring you back. Having needed a transfusion myself during

surgery in the past, I was fortunate in that I had donated my own blood

months in advance and had it available when I needed it. It's very scary

when these things happen, but I guess it is somewhat better now that you

have been able to get some function in the duct by stenting. I hope that this

will at least provide you some relief now.

Think good thoughts,
