I swear, I can’t remember the last time I was this frustrated, (that doesn’t have to do with parenting). We took our happy little asses home and the first night was great. We both slept like the dead.
However, the next day John began having some sharp pains in his left side. He said it felt a lot like the catch you get in your side from running, only worse. These pains began keeping him up at night and he had shortness of breath with them as well.
So I called the damn doctor and told the damn doctor what was going on and she said to go to the damn ER. We did and got in pretty quick when the ER nurse took his history, considered his latest symptoms and did a test on his pancreas.
Pancreatitis.
Damn.
So here we sit. Again. It’s like a nightmare we can’t wake up from.
The thinking is that the pancreas is the handy little gizmo that makes insulin and we know his isn’t anymore. So there’s something up with that, but what?
Well, “they” did a cat scan after he got to drink 10 delicious ounces of barium and found, nothing. Well, nothing outside the norm except an inflamed pancreas. They don’t know why or what’s causing it. Maybe it’s jealous because it can’t spit out insulin anymore and we now have other sources. I dunno.
*deep sigh*
I am so emotionally drained and just plain tired I can’t think straight. I have a bunch of pictures to put on here, (Some of them even funny!), only I forgot the deal to put the camera card in at home.
There is some good news. Mither and Pop are here! they showed up last night to help with, well, everything. And that sure is nice to know! Hopefully they can get the house, Henrietta and the girls whipped into shape before we get home.
Geeze! If they can do that, coming to the hospital may be worth it!
I am exhausted, people. I swear I will begin reading you all again soon… soonish. Oh, hell, I really have no idea when this will all end, but I’ll be back sometime, I promise.
I am not proofing this so please forgive me for any bizarre errors. I’m just gonna hit publish and go with it.

I was wondering if you were ever allowed to leave, glad that you got a one-night break. Now, I think that you have filled your quota of bad for the next two years, so hopefully this will be cleared up soon, and you both will be back in your own bed for an extended period of time – say 40 years! 🙂

It sounds like this is going to be a long journey… Glad you got a good night’s sleep in between crises!
I know that a scorpion sting can affect your pancreas… That’s all I know about that. Keep at it, don’t give up.

Bless your heart! I’ve been thinking a lot about you guys and hoping all is well. This is certainly not what I was hoping to hear. I’m so glad the reinforcements came in time to help you out.

My MIL had pancreatitis many years ago. It came on for no reason, they did some exploratory surgery on her and found nothing, and it went away just as mysteriously. It’s hard to say what brings it on, but it’s an infection, so it can be treated. Hang in there hon!
