Hooray pancreas of no great concern!
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
acute necrotizing
Two words that are never good news. Yikes indeed!
Really glad you got past that, Drew
I think my legs are sore from looking at pictures a college friend posted to FB of his running the Boston marathon
