Day Three

Still at the hospital. Pancreas enzymes are still high so still no food. I am getting some clears but and least it’s progress. MRI tomorrow to check for stone in the pancreas. If all is good and numbers start to go down then full liquids here I come

When you can list the meds the doctors will order for the nurse.

In this day in age you are frowned upon if you know the pain meds and how they work for you. It’s frustrating when a doctor insists on morphing instead of hydromorphone or Fentanyal. These are metabolized differently by each. Be active in your care and speak up if you are not sure or don’t understand. They are putting chemicals in our bodies to help but they can harm to. Ask questions stay safe

Back in hospital!

High lipase levels along with low K(potassium) in the blood has gotten a minimum sentence of 3 day but will must likely be a 5-7 day stay. Since first being diagnosed in 1998 I have had on average 4 stays a year.
