Right before bed last night I got some bad stomach cramps. Took some Pepto Bismal and sleepytime.
Wake up a few hours later and the cramps persist. Now some Tums but it still persists.
Decide I might have an issue so off to the VA ER I go.
Poked and prodded. Peed in the cup. Blood drawn. Finally a CT scan.
This is how I find out I have acute pancreatitis.
Now meds for pain and stomach upset. Up to three days inpatient with no food or liquuds to give my pancreas time to rest.
Just found out I need an ultrasound because I might(?) have gall stones, which the doctor wants to remove my gall bladder.
Fortunately I caught it early and didn't waste time.
For now just bored out of my mind.
Great way to start the week...
Regards,
Doug
