Did you miss me?
Last Sunday I was hospitalized with acute pancreatitis and galls stones that required emergency surgery. I was admitted around 2am Sunday morning and then had to wait, NPO, for my pancreas to "cool off" before the surgeons could take out my gall bladder. Painful, but I did it. Surgery was successful. My gall bladder and the stones blocking the pancreatic drainage, which caused the inflammation from hell.
I'm having trouble shaking the fever and I can't go home until I'm 24 hours without a fever. My pancreas is still inflamed, too, so I'm back at NPO.
As of right now, I'm here for two more days, minimum.
I have no idea what my current weight is. I've had less than a thousand calories the whole week - I was on liquids and soft food briefly, then spiked a 103 fever. Now I'm back to NPO.
I can't help wondering if there is some sort of appetite supressant in the IV drip.
Anyone have experience eating for pancreatic recover? Suggestions are welcome.
