@rosemarya @contentandwell @jeanne5009 Since my last post I've had the ERCP procedure (scope to insert stent to unblock bile duct) and it failed. They managed to rattle my pancreas which ended up with me having pancreatitis. The symptons being severe nausea, vomiting and pain. I was unable to hold anything down including my immunosuppresents and other meds. I've been back in hospital since last Thursday waiting for this to be resolved. I will be scheduled for another ERCP to try and get the stent in again. 🤞🤞that it works this time and that I don't get pancreatitis again. Hopefully soon I'll be on the right track. I WILL SURVIVE! Lol...new mantra.

@gaylea1 You really have been through a lot, but you still sound very positive. That's key I think.
I hope the next ERCP does not fail. Yes, you will survive and come through with flying colors. Your strength will win out.

Gaylea, It is nice to hear from you. I do wish the circumstances were different, but they will be soon.
I admire your attitude and new mantra! My belief is that it be the strength that your body needs to keep recovering. My husband and i were told to expect 'bumps' along the way, and that is how we always look at any complicating factor. I have learned that sometimes what is a major thing for me, is actually a routine procedure for the experts. So even if something comes out with unexpected results they know how to proceed.
How do you feel now? Are you able to get out of bed while waiting for the next ERCP?
I wish I could come by and sit with you for a while, I thing we would have lots to talk about! Have you ever heard anything from @parmcat about the liver transplant support group he was starting? That would be so convenient for you.
If you want some good, non-transplant conversation to occupy your mind and promote your positivity, I recommend the following discussions. Both are in Just Want to TaltkDiscussions:
