Finally! The west coasties can be hard to comprehend sometimes. Good to get another Southerner back on the taco.

just a few random answers, cause I feel sooo.... random right now.
Will fondle Blanchard when the urge to fondle steel strings in general returns.
True, morphine will not help with ST. BUT I have MUCH more powerful drugs than morphine. And now that the surgery was a success , they actually WORK. IF you think that there is a drug to cure every ill, and that pain is a thing of the past, think again.
Some pain is impervious to drugs. Not a happy thought is it?
More later, hard to sit up.

Joke?
IF I couldn't joke about this, I'd be miserable indeed.
Of course when YOU do it, YOUR joke has to pass my Politikally Korrectness test, LOL.
I just love a good double standard.

Sorry, when I got detubed, ( took out pic line, and two drains), which really increased my mobility, I had a setback or three.
This recovery from MAJOR surgery is extremely slow-- to the point of being depressing. Seems like two steps forward, three steps back sometimes.
I have several weeks to go for the minimum time for recovery from a Whipple.
Somehow I think it will be a good while longer, DOH.
But it's still way better than the alternative, which was death in agony, in a few months or less, so, complaining just doesn't seem like a real good idea.
I probably got a year out of this, and even if it stays like it is now, that's still better than pre-op, when I was mostly doubled over in pain that no drugs could touch.
One thing you really do not want to experiences is a bowel obstruction or even a constriction that is headed for obstruction. Nothing else hurts like that.
But anyway, one weird thing about a whipple procedure is that it changes your taste in weird ways. One expected thing is that you have to eat really small amounts 6 times a day or so. between those two, eating is really different. Sometimes things taste so much stronger it's incredible, and sometimes your formerly favorite things taste awful.
Some things you eat really set off bile and acid production LOL.
There, how's that?

Oh man, just from the cramps I've had from lactose intolerance I can really sympathize with you. I hope yours stay a thing of the past. Eat 6 times a day? Been doing that a lot lately. Just ate some fudge an hour ago and now I'm headed to the breakroom for some cheesecake. lol
Don't focus on the year thing. Who comes up with that stuff anyway?? You've got way more than that.
