I can certainly understand your brother being over cautious, what a

nightmare to endure. Did she have a cardiac condition prior to her

tests being done? She must have and they just did not know. I for

one wouldhave that tooth pulled toot sweet; being more concerned

with lingering risks of infection by it staying put. You have to do

what the docs say. Has the dentist and the gi doc even spoken in

this regard. Infections in the mouth can spread very easily.

I think Billy is trying to stress over what he feels he can control,

he's worried about me terribly; but there is little he can do. The

cars however, now thats his domain...lol. Everything will work out

fine. I haven't been feeling very well the last week or so, its

probably the stress as well but I ma also pms-ing and it is always

worse this time of the month. Even though things have progessively

gotten worse and worse if I could have that inj of octreotide right

now I would jump right to it.

I had thought about going to the zoo again, I sure did enjoy that, I

was practically the only one there. The animals were waking up with

a surprise, a visitor first thing in the morning in the middle of

winter....lol.

I'm glad the Miralax has worked out so well for you. I vary my

dosage, depending on how I feel and will sometimes have it in the

evening also. But about a half of a capful in my coffee and I am

good to go...no pun intended. I've actually mixed it with cold

water when I could barely tolerate anything else and you really cant

taste it.

I will keep you sil in my prayers. Thats a very difficult condition

to deal with as it can come from so many different avenues. The

exscessive fluid I mean. A co-worker had it and they put in a peri-

cardial window. Its like a drain for the fluid, its not a cure but

a remedy.

Good luck with all your tests next week, sounds a lot more

exhausting then my week will be. You know I dont think I have your

address, pm it to me so I can send you a postcard if I have enough

self disicpline to do so. I'm sure we willhave tons o f info to

share by next weekend.

One thing I am curious about, what is the relationship between

pancreatitis and calcium? I remember reading something about a

while back and that is why so many chronic sufferers have bone

loss. Do you recall? Try not to over doit this week,. thats why

yousaved all this for after the wedding remember, so it wouldn't be

too over whelming. Hey and no tropical storms this week either, we

picked a good week to square things away with the docs?

Hows your Dad?

Warmly,
