Hi Tera. How's Mike today? Ok first. They have NEVER seen a patient w/o a pancreas? WTF! And they don't have a bed! What they hell kind of place is that! As far as the DX being Pancreatitis. My question is how does one have pancreatitis when they have had their pancreas removed? It's kinda hard to have an inflamed pancreas when it's not there. Now be aware that I don't know this case, but colitis, which they ruled out, makes more sense. They said that his bowels are swollen. Um... that's what colitis is. As far as the bladder being swollen. Maybe. It sounds to me that there is more going on. How did they determine this? What tests have been performed? What type of Dr. has been attending to Mike? And as far as sending him home with this. That's f-ing BS. I'm pissed. He need to be in the hospital with a complete workup, not simply someone saying that he has pancreatic inflamation when he has no pancreas. And that he doesn't have Colitis, but his colon is swollen. Something isn't adding up. One thing that does make sense is the TPN IV. If he does have a bowel obstruction, that is the right way to go. Did they explain to you how it may be long term? IM me for a phone number.

Guys, this is Mike....finally got a computer near the bed so I can be a PITA once again .
Thank you all for the well wishes and thoughts...it truly does mean alot.
SD, as far as my condition goes I really have no clue why they continue to call it pancreatitis when I have no pancrease? I've found that odd the last couple times...maybe because I still have a Common byle duct and a pancreatic tail that's enough to cause a "pancreatitis"...I dunno. I had the typical slew of tests done, Endoscopy,colonoscopy,ct scans/nucluear dye ct scans...the whole nine. I don't have a blockage in my bowels but they are very swollen and casuing pain. The hospital that I normally go to don't have any beds...normal for this place, this is the place I sat in the hallway for like 12 hours when I got bit by that black widow spider last summer....chitty er patient care but has an awesome gastro- department. The first time this happened to me I was in the hospital for almost 7 months, then the next time it was 2 months and bieng that this is about my 10th attack I guess they figure they can treat me from home just the same, thats why I am able to go home. Basically they can't do anything till the swelling goes down and thats why I am on a tpn diet with no food for a month, once teh swelling goes down they will probably run more tests to see what cause it all.
Anyway, it's great to be back here with all you guys and gals!!! Reading your messages really did lift my spirits..thanks you all. And thanks for bieng nice to Tara

Actually, SD was just being nice so he could get her number 
We are all glad you are OK. I got enough to worry about without worrying about not having someone to argue with and worrying about what they will say that worries me.
Welcome home, well, sorta
