damn Lynx, at the same time of sadness you can Laugh and make others laugh, that in itself is a gift,
I understand what you are going through, I have had pancreintitus for 11 years, I was in the Hospital for a month, and could not eat food for 4 and a half months, Morphine and Demerol were my best friends, 6 minute drip
I wish you the best and a quick recover to the best possible measure!
Paul
