Jerry reporting again. Lucie had her ERCP early this morning and all went well. Even so, they decided to keep her one more night, since she came in with a fever and fevers are more dangerous with people who have an immune system reduced by several weeks of chemotherapy.
When I visited her this evening she was in good spirits and looked good. Her only complaint was that she was limited to clear liquids for the rest of today. Her supper revealed that she had eaten the wonderful clear broth, but not the wonderful Jello. And unfortunately was prohibited from touching the chocolate I smuggled in, which made her wonder if life really was worth living. Hopefully she'll get a solid breakfast, which will taste good, even for hospital food.
Thanks so much for your comments of support, first to Lucie, for whom they mean so much, and to me also, for my stumbling efforts to fill in in her absence.

What do you do when you find out you have pancreatic cancer? Tell everyone about it, of course. Why "green bananas?" Because we keep buying them as a sign of faith in the future. What do we need from you? Good thoughts and the occasional bad joke.

When the broth comes in, Lucie should say things like, "Ah Jerry, you're a fine broth of a lad." Or,
"There was an old nurse who worked in a hospital.
She had so many patients they made her inhospitable.
She gave them clear broth without any bread.
She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed."
So glad to hear Lucie got through her ERCP and is recovering nicely . What do those letters stand for? It seems like a positive sign that solid food sounds good to Lucie. You are such a great husband Jerry! Who would have guessed that a brother that teased the heck out of his sisters while they were growing up would be so compassionate,loving, and kind. You are also do a nice job filling in for Lucie on her AWESOME blog. WE love you!
