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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

acute necrotizing

Two words that are never good news. Yikes indeed!
