It is Saturday night and I am in St. Mary's hospital tonight, for I'm not sure how long. I got the stent in on Friday and went home, but I started feeling really sick and vomiting. When I called the doctor, he said to come in to the ER, so David and I went back to the hospital this morning. After another CT scan, they said my pancreas is full of bile and now I have pancreatitis, which is imflammation of the pancreas. They said the stent was placed correctly, but it can happen from all the probing around to get it placed.
So now, the most pressing medical concern for me is to get my pancreas cleaned up from this infection. After that, the next thing that needs to happen is to drain the bile. If you want to know this disgusting fact, so far, they have drained three bags of bile out of me, so at least that's progress. Plus the doctor said I'm looking better, which I think means I'm not so yellow. After those two medical concerns are taken care of, then the doctor says I can start chemo.
