I didn't even get out of bed until 9:30am, and then realized I'd better get the prescriptions filled that were given to me in the hospital - two are antibiotics, and one anti-nausea pill. I read the info that the pharmacy includes with the meds, and find that one of them can't be taken within two hours of so many kinds of vitamins and minerals, a lot of which I normally take. I'm going to have to have a clear head in order to stay ahead of this game!
I talked to Jeannie who clarified the events of the past couple of days - including the fact that I was in the ER from about 1:00 or 1:30 am until 4:30 pm. Most of that time I had already been admitted to the hospital but they just didn't have a bed available! UCD Med center is a county hospital as well as a trauma center, and gets many patients brought in by chopper from a big part of northern CA. Jeanne had called Steve and Joe - Steve came to the ER and Joe was actually working clinical at the hospital and was able to stop in to see me for a few minutes off the job. He joined us after his shift was over and the four of us talked and laughed a lot - I'm sure we made enough noise that the ER personnel didn't keep us any longer than necessary. When we all got to my room we continued the party for a while, and they left to get something to eat at a nearby restaurant.
I learned this morning they went to Hoppy's, a local small craft brewery that I love! I am pretty put out that they went to Hoppy's without me and that is going to be on the list of places they are just going to have to take me to in the near future - when I can enjoy the fish & chips, and the on-site brewed beer as well. I am fortunate to have had company who kept me entertained during the long wait for a room. I was so tired, however, I probably contributed very little to the entertainment except as audience, and of course I played "straight man" to their jokes. I am so grateful for my children!

I am still around and just socializing a bit with family. Yesterday was Autumn's birthday party at the roller rink. I skated 4 turns around the rink without falling or making too much of a fool of myself! I debated long and hard...
- Post Op
Jeannie took me to my post op this morning, and my mood has been swinging wildly for the last few days anyway, nearly driving me crazy today. I've gone through periods of wanting to just sit and cry, as well as those of just plain depression. ...

If you don't want to read the account of my ERCP procedure, please just skip this entry. I was in bed at 8 pm this evening, and now at 1:30 a.m. I'm awake. I felt pretty crappy for a while but the discomfort is finally easing up. What a...
- A Quick Note
I came home today, still feeling like crap, but home is home and I hope to finally get a bit of sleep tonight, if not all that much rest. Being in a hospital on a machine that holds bags of various meds and fluids is really hard to deal with. I...
