Just a quick update on Brian,
who has been in Geelong hospital now for 5 days.
He is very happy that he is
being discharged today (Wednesday), and Dale has just left Portland to pick him
up.
The scan that he had (MRCP – or
‘MRcholangiopancreatogram’ for anyone interested) showed that his abdominal
pain has been due to sludge in the bile duct (his gall bladder was removed many
years ago), and while he is coming home today (yay!) he will need to go back
next Monday for a procedure where they ‘sweep’ out the bile duct and enlarge
any narrowed sections to minimize the chance of this recurring. It is a simple
procedure in the scheme of things, and he should be able to be discharged the
same day.
Hopefully that is one area of
his health that can then be ticked off.
