hello to all, results from ton and Dr. Cotton

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

I have been home a week tomorrow. While in ton I saw Dr.

Cotton who did an ERCP and manometry studies all the usual. He put

in two stents and ballooned open the pancreatic duct. I am to have

an abdominal x-ray in 30 days to see if the stents have " passed " .

If not, its back to ton. It has helped some, but today I

feel yucky. I had a small SOD spasm this morning and i sure hope

that it is not " the passing of the stent " too early. I will say,

the care I received down there was first rate as usual. Dr. Cotton

wound up cancelling the EUS with Dr. Hawes because it would have

ment two anestheisas in a row and he did not want to do that. So I

never got to meet Dr. Hawes. But, I am sure sometime or other I

will be meeting him. I have come to the sad conclusion that this

will never completely end. I am not usually this " down " about this

stuff but I have had it. I am NOT a candidate for TP/ICT, so I

guess I will have to live with it.

I am sorry I don't get on here as much as I use to and add my

information, but I think like a lot of us I am in a depression.

Been there before. You all know how that goes.

Just wanted to let you all know what was going on.
