Title: Get Well Soon HANK!
Post by: Palehorse on November 30, 2016, 02:23:52 PM
Hank:

I know we have our differing opinions on a lot of things, but I just want you to know that my thoughts are with you this afternoon as you prepare for your upcoming medical challenge/procedure this afternoon.

May it all go far better than the expectations of your doctors and family, and you find yourself back in the saddle again in the blink of an eye.

Get well soon my friend. We're missing you!

Thanks guys,
I was having pain in stomach that would las for a couple of hours then go away flr12 hours or so.
It was excruciating at times, finally after my 4th attack my wife convinced me that it was time to pay the ER a visit.....they did a CT and some blood work and concluded I had a blockage of my bile duct.


I was admitted and the next day they had  gastrologist(sp) come in.  She said it was a stone or a mass that was the culprit and she wanted a mri done to get a clearer picture.  In the mean time I was beginning to jaundice and itching due Tony liver was not performing.


By the time I got my results back I had to wait until the next day to get the surgery done.


It was really starting to get the best of me.  I was on a high dose of pain meds and fluids, 


anyway the bottom line is the went in through my mouth and removed a 9mm stone along with another4mm of sludge. They also had to stretch out the duc.


I feel much better today and hoping to be released later today but not until I eat ok.


So I am writing this on my iPhone and it is taking me forever and I am giving you the fast version of my pity story.


Thanks for the nice words.

I know!  I had a nurse barge in at 1:30 Tuesday morning, just to ask if I needed anything!😡


I called the floor nurse and shared my thoughts on this....that nurse did not or has not shown her face since nor has anyone barged in just to see if Ineeded anything
