She was awake, alert and not in too much pain. Her self observation is that she can go longer between the fentanyl shots and she was up to a 4 hour cycle. The fentanyl is injected through her IV and once in, Mary falls asleep for about an hour. Then she wakes up and feels pretty good until the pain gets too bad. As noted, she was up to 4 hour cycle by 9PM tonight.
The doc has ordered some more x-rays Friday morning. He said that he and three radiologists had studied all the images obtained so far (ultrasound, two ERCPs and one CT Scan) and they believe there is more to see with the pictures ordered for Friday.
I asked him when he expected the pathology reports. He said, quite logically, that the noon Monday ERCP resulted in a report late on Tuesday. So, a late on Wednesday ERCP should get us a report tomorrow--sometime.
Next report will be about 9AM. Then I am off to work for half a day.
