In reply to the discussion: So, DU, I've had quite the month. [View all]LuckyCharms
(23,378 posts)15. I am sorry for your pain and suffering.
I cringed while reading your post.
I had pancreatitis once and was on a Fentanyl drip for 5 days inpatient. I remember I could not eat, and they could not even bring food into my room because the smell of the food would trigger the pancreatic enzymes. I did not have the complications that you did, however. Coincidentally. about the time you were going through your ordeal recently, I was in the ER with diverticulitis, and am just getting some relief now (knock wood).
You hang tough there, Tommy. They will get you fixed up soon and you'll be back to your old self. Once your procedures are done, you're going to be feeling much better. You're going to feel like a new man once they take care of everything.
Best wishes and good thoughts to you.

Oh man, that's sounds awful, even worse than kidney stones which I've passed a couple of big ones.
