You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hooray pancreas of no great concern!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Confession: I'm not totally clear on what exactly a pancreas does. But I'm very glad your fella's is concern-free and able to keep doing... whatever it is they do.

The pancreas can be a real jerk. My pancreas is what put me in the hospital for a month and almost killed me.

It produces insulin and other digestive enzymes and if things go haywire with the pancreas it's not good.

Yikes! I remembered your awful hospital stay but not that it was your pancreas that put you there.

It was acute necrotizing pancreatitis. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I'm glad further imaging is producing relatively good results, JenP.

ND, I'm so so glad you made it through. Necrotizing anything is a terrifying thing to have to fight off.

Pancreatitis was what put my mom in the hospital a few years back, too. When a woman who used to get 3-day blackout shades migraines tells you it's the worst pain she's ever felt, it's bad.
