    Joe, what the hell...every time we plan a trip to Stephen's place you pull this crap! All joking aside, please take care of yourself & I sure hope the doc's can figure out why you're getting these flare ups. You're doing everything right, so I can imagine how these episodes can bum you out. Don't be afraid to reach out to me if you guys need a hand with anything. I'll gladly baby sit the tri-vista for a while!! :D

    Thanks everyone. I have an appointment this morning with the doctor. He, the GI doc and a doc at the John Hopkins cancer center in Philly are going to be sticking probes in every access to my pancreas, liver and gall bladder in the next few weeks to see what the heck is going on in there!

    Heck the live style I led most of my life I'm lucky it's just not hollow in there.:D

    Hang in there Joe! We'll keep saying prayers and you just keep doing what the Doc's say. Everything is going to be okay.:)

    It's simply normal to be a little scared. Good vibes coming your way!

    I talked to Joe yesterday. He's really bummed out. I can't say I blame him. I told him to hang in there & the doc's will get to the bottom of his reoccuring pain. He's thinking gall stones or crystals. Whatever it is, the fixt can't be soon enough. He's a tough cookie though. He's hopeing to be home for the weekend.

    My guess is that Joe will get a special procedure done called "ERCP". A small tube is passed down the throat, passed thru the stomach and into the small intestine. Using this tool, the surgeon can identify the problem and even remove gall stones. This is all done without pain or cutting. My gut (pun intended) tells me Joe will be his ornery self soon. You know, this man, going thru this crap just sent me some parts for my TT!! He gets my best wishes as well.
