After 10 months of hell, I am overjoyed to announce, I have had my drain tube removed. My pancreas seems to be working properly again. Its taken a long time and I must admit that I was getting to think I would have to have the drain for the rest of my life!
I cannot tell you what this means to me. I dont know whether to laugh or cry. It’s been such a long and horrific journey and today, it seems I have turned a corner. I still need to have regular scans and take it easy, but the daily pain and discomfort of having a tube sticking out of my belly is gone. It’s heaven!!!! I cant wait to go swimming….and I wont have to sleep on my back anymore!!!!
I owe so much to the nurses and doctors who cared for me. I will never forget them. And I would like to thank everyone who has offered encouragement or wished me well here and on vimeo and flickr especially Loonachic, who regularly threatened me with violence everytime I got low! Thankyou!
