Blockage of the common bile duct
My mom had this last spring and had to have emergency surgery to remove her gall bladder. She was in a lot of pain. It came and went over a period of three weeks before we figured out what was going on. She would call me and want to go to the hospital but when the paramedics got to her house and I drove across town to see her she would be feeling better again. This went on three times before she finally decided to go to the hospital. There they found out here bile duct and gall bladder had some gall stones and she had the operation. So I know what type of pain you are talking about. She too had to have a stent installed and after a few weeks they removed it and rechecked her bile duct. She's doing better now. Hang in there and do your best. That and hope that the doctors can help you though the pain.
Well I hope you don't have any pain and they can help you

But I wasn't afraidSo now I've got to try and build up a little strenght,so that I can walk over to sons house, and have a few puffs.[/QUOTE]
a Few Puffs? Are you serious? My father in Law had open heart surgery many years ago. He's no longer with this world. As soon at he got back home he was smoking cigarettes out in the back garage. He could barely breath. I saw my maternal grand father smoke and he died of emphysema. He was skin and bones when he died. He was a very big man before he got sick and lost so much weight. My mom and dad both smoked and so did I until I finally quit for good in 1993. My best advise to anyone is to never smoke and if you still smoke quit.
All the best to you and hope you are free of pain. It's good to have family around you at times like this. Your lucky to have a son that's living so close to you.
