My last post said I was in the hospital but I didn't mention why. Mayo is very picky with their transplant patients. I picked up a fever that was low grade and then spiked high. Diana called and guess what they said. Wayne. ..
The ER is ready and waiting for you. So they got the fever down, so now on antibiotics at home plus the IV antibiotics at hospital. Thursday I have an ERCP, makes 3rd one. I know they can get this fixed. Google ERCP and enjoy the read. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. They do work.
