8 April 2015 Update on Brian



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.
