Hi everyone,

I've had so much trouble posting since my divorce. I am now Patty

Duley formerly Jensen.

I am scheduled for another ERCP on July 23, 2004. My pain has been

gradually getting worse. I was in the hospital last month with

another panc attack. I was at work and I didn't feel very well. I

had the taste of soap in my mouth. I luckily work at a hospital, so

I went to my supervisor and she said that I needed to go to the ER

right away. I found out that I was suffering from metabolic keto

acidosis and a panc attack. I was in the hospital for only 1 day and

sent home with pain meds and clear liquid diet. Well I slowly tried

to change back to a regular diet but I have been unable to tolerate

it. I can eat oatmeal, pretzels, pudding, yogurt, water, milk and

hard candy. I just stay very nauseious and I am taking Zofran for

that. My pain is constant but dealing with it.

The good news is that I have just bought my own place and am now

spending almost everyday with my kids. I think most of you will

remember me from my story that while I was in the hospital in Dec.

2003 for a duel sphinctorotomy and stent placement my loving husband

was out spending money on strippers and meeting women on a singles

hook-up line because I could no longer satisfy him and was not able

to do my wifely duties. I have lived with my parents since Jan,04

when I filed for divorce. Well long story short I left the marriage

with only $7500 dollars and he got that back because I had to pay 50%

of the mortgage on the house for 7 months and attorney fees. We also

had a home equity loan of $ 50,000.00 which I found that he has

spent. Mainly at strip clubs, hotels and car rentals for when he

supposedly was out of town with friends. The hard part was that I

was receiving short term disability and had no other income and still

had to pay half the mortgage. Well now I just bought a 2004 mobile

home and the reason I qualified for the loan was because my credit

was excellent and my brother was VP at the back and vouched for me.

Normally he said I wouldn't be able to qualifiy for a loan until Todd

had refinanced the home which he has 150 days to do. It is tough

right now but I am at work and doing real well. My money is tight

but I am going to get to start my second job after my surgery.(I

worked part-time at a dept. store prior to getting sick) My ex-

husband is in charge of security there. It's funny how people

perceived him as this wonderful guy who SUPPOSEDLY WOULD GIVE HIS

LIFE FOR HIS WIFE. The truth always comes out in the end.

Gosh I didn't expect to write a novel but there has been so much that

has happened since last post.

Hope everyone is pain free
