NWR- Sorry just need to vent
My Mom just got diagnosed with pancreatitis a week and a half ago. What the doctor said really scared me, it can actually kill you. But with proper treatment you get better and depending on which you have it may never come back again. At first he seemed to be doing really well with her. He said they might be able to avoid the hospital if she follows a strict diet for awhile. So she was on clear liquids only for a couple of days and went for a sonogram to get a better idea. He said it looked better than he thought and that she could start to add some food back to her diet. This is where my big problem is... All he told her is not to have anything fatty or spicy and if it gives her pain don't try the particular food again for awhile. He then scheduled her for a cat scan that she had monday and the dr that read it at the lab said looked ok. But her dr won't be talking to her about it till Tuesday! She's had problems with a lot of the foods she's tried already. I think he should have been a bit more specific since it is so dangerous but he told her that there really isn't a right or wrong list. For some reason I don't believe that. And through all of this she's upset because I'm helping out a little extra with the bills and should be saving the money for the wedding! (Though she's already upset that FH and I have to pay for the wedding at all) Of course I'm gonna help out!
Thanks for letting me vent. Sorry its so long but I don't want anyone else (coworkers/family) to know how serious it is and upset I am.
