My ERCP procedure went quite well today -- they did need to do some housekeeping so it's a good thing I had it done. It's all a big guessing game as to how long I can go between these events. Obviously - since it's surgery where they knock you clear out (joked with the folks in the operating room about not giving me quite as much as Michael Jackson took)..... and asked to make sure they knew they weren't amputating anything..... you want to put these off as long as possible -- without going too long and having something real bad happen.
Being here in Scottsdale now - will allow them to monitor my blood work more frequently. That will give a good indication for how the liver is functioning.
All in all -- all's good!
