Hello!
Nice to hear from you. As you may remember, I had been putting off the second recommended pancreatic biopsy for several reasons, but recently went ahead and scheduled it on 9/1. I've only had a couple of pancreatic pains this year that have sent me to the ER. Controlling my diet keeps it in check I think. The surgeon is aware that he is supposed to collect more tissue this time around and I'm hoping not only for an actual diagnosis of the Chronic Pancreatitis, but that it doesn't set off another episode of acute pancreatitis like it did last November.
Meanwhile, I think I tore my left arm rotator cuff in July, playing tug of war with my 90 pound dog and have an MRI scheduled this week on Tuesday. The pain has been excruciating. Other than this, I'm OK and just trying to get thru every day. How are you? Any updates and have you had any acute episodes?
Let me know how you are. BTW, I was thinking about the beach this morning and then got your message.
