And for no Updates or work done on the 2013 year end summary.

Just got Patty back from the hospital following a Snow/ice storm ride in a ambulance to the ER.

She started screaming and doubled over in pain Sunday morning while getting ready for church.

Following about an hour and 15 minute Ambulance ride (that should have taken about 25 minutes) she was diagnosed as having a bile duct blockage. The Bile duct from her liver to the stomach or intestine, wherever it goes .

Tests Monday, and another one Monday night. Dr never came by.

Ordered another test Tuesday and finally came by. He told them that he would make a plan of action after the Tuesday test, which was gonna consist of going down her throat, through the stomach and into the bile duct, remove the obstruction and put in a stint if needed.

Wed. did the operation, removed a 6mm "Stone" from the 4mm duct that was causing bile to build up and "Enlarge" her liver. Wasn't able to come home last night but got home about noon today.

It's nice to be home. Now I gotta go back to work tonight and I will have a TON of warrants to QC!

Glad she's ok, and glad you're ok too.

Yeah, we were worried.

Thanks guys, but when me and the pup got home from spending all day at the Hospital we were beat and just didn't feel like cranking up the 'puter.

Good to hear that everything is fine now.

Oh that and getting mad at her "Regular" Dr. the Conehead!

The GI Dr/surgeon was a nice guy, VERY informative and concerned. He chewed out the Pre-op nurses for NOT starting her plasma 30 minutes prior to the operation and apologized to Patty for the delay.

Oh and Miracles happen, MY Dr was the On call ER doctor that night and he is the one that diagnosed her from observation and talking to her. EVEN after the tests, her dr said he didn't think an operation was necessary. We are thinking about trying to get My Doctor to accept her as a patient.

Sounds like a good plan.

Ouch! Glad she got taken care of in the end, but those first couple days sound terrible.

Get better Patty!

Randy...back to work for you! And posting too!

Thanks Rich and guys. Yeah I figure you've seen it first hand Rich.

Oh and I'll try and make a post or two every now and then.

Randy, I'm glad that Patty is doing better! Sounds very similar to when the General needed to have her gall bladder removed. Best wishes for both of you.
