If you need a hookup I may know a guy

You're the man, Ed. Hope all is well.

No shame in a bit of MJ assistance.

Your doc will give you Zofran, Dolasetron, Zyrpexa, or similar, and those work. Give the doc a ring, Ed.

I made it through the procedure and already there is a lot of bile in the bag, plus what is draining internally into my small intestine. Thank God for something finally working. My eyes were glow in the dark yellow today so I was worried about the jaundice. I am being kept overnight, but not complaining. The nurses will show me twice how to tend the bag and drain, so I am grateful for the pros being able to take more time with me before I flush and care for it on my own. I even ate well, 3 of 4 pizza slices, carrots, celery, cherry Italian ice, and ginger ale. Moving into my bed had me moaning and grimacing but a liquid dose of hydromorphone burned and about sent me for nap time.

Keep strong buddy !

Something very unexpected happened today and I needed it. My doorbell rang about 10 am and it was Pastor Kris from my church, St. Mark's Lutheran, where I have not gone in two years due to cancer stuff. I was afraid they might think I was dead. It turns out that our vet, Doc Knappenberger, gave her our address. She lives in Perimmon Hill, so we're practically neighbors. She gave me Communion which I've sorely missed, and then annointed me with oil for an extra blessing. She is going to see me every week and bring me Communion until my trip and then once I return. Thank you, God, for this gift today! I have to stop typing now because I can't see so well through tears.

Awesome, Ed. So glad to hear you had a great day. Thinking of you, buddy!

Good for your pastor Ed.

Awesome, Ed. You are indeed an inspiration.....and now you're an inspiration with Holy Communion in you!!! Double awesome!!!!!!

That's really wonderful to hear, Ed. You should talk to her often. Pastors see many people dealing with serious illnesses and will have a lot of help and perspective. I would say that the spiritual self is more important to keep healthy than the body and a dose of that might really be a balm for you and your spirits.

That's awesome.... Yay God and Godly people...
