in the spirit of not having anyone need to ask where is mindtwister, I thought I would post here and let everyone know. As of October 14th, I have been in the hospital for a very bad case of pancreitis (sp?). I'm not sure when I'll be released, but needless to say, I probably won't be making any outings for quite some time.

Hope you all have fun, and I'll keep checking in when I can.

May the Force be with you all.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you start to improve soon. At least it seems you have internet access at the hospital. Keep us updated. If you need anything to keep you from getting too bored...say the newest Star Wars novel...just give me a PM and I'm sure a care package could be arranged. Or if you want a visit from us to keep your spirits up just let us know!

Get well as soon as humanly (or inhumanly) possible.

Hospitals... ugh!

And if it hurts to chuckle, I promise to not do or say anything funny. However, if a cute nurse rejects me in a comical fasion-- I cannot be held accountable for that.

I appreciate all of the concern. For those interested in paying a visit, just PM me and I'll let you know where I am and what room. I really hope I get out soon, but at the moment, we're waiting on results to see just how damaged my pancreas has become. I feel I may be here awhile sad

Appo and I are very sorry to hear this Mind-Twister! Do they have any idea what caused it, and how long it'd been going on? My prayers are with you that this hasn't caused any damage. I'll be sending you a PM to find out where you are. We're glad you've got internet access, at least we can readily keep in touch with you. Just let us know and we'll get books or whatever for you. I know your diet is probably restricted. But is there anything you can have that we can bring? I'll be PMing shortly. Best Hopes and Wishes For A Speedy Recovery. Zannah and Appo love hugs

I found out today that about one third of my pancreas is gone because of this. As far as diet, it is only sugar free clear liquids only, and will be that way for some time to come. I have to have a nutrient bag on me at all times because I can't eat. Basically, if I eat, my pancreas might start producing the enzymes again that made it turn on itself, and I would be in the same situation as I am now, possibly worse. I really do appreciate all of the concern you all have shown. It makes me feel good to know that there are people who care out there. thanks happy

They released me from the hospital on Friday, and I have had a few rough days there, and haven't been online since then. Hopefully I'll be on the road to recovering faster, but things are a lot tougher than I initially thought they would be. I tried to go grocery shopping yesterday and was completely exhausted by the time I got finished. Thanks again for all the well wishes happy

Yay! So is your pancreas recovered otherwise or will you have to stick with a bland diet? Any long term consequences?
Glad you're on the road to recovery!

I have to stick with the bland diet for some time to come. I'm not allowed to have anything but sugar free popsicles and jello, and clear liquids. Apparently, my pancreas digested about a third of itself so we have to let the pancreas rest and not start being active again or else it may start digesting the rest of itself. Right now, I have a picc line in my arm that is attached to a bag of nutrients that goes where I do. It smells nasty too...lol.
