Thanks, Sly.

Long story short - I went to the doctor back in January for what I figured was a standard ulcer, possibly a duodenal ulcer since I'd had one of those before. Doctor recognized symptoms of jaundice (which has since gotten way worse) and started thinking gallbladder, and scheduled an appointment with a gastroenterologist in February. GI specialist tended to agree, and scheduled a procedure to take care of the problem. In April. "Go to the ER if you have any further problems."

So I did, a couple weeks later. They sent me to Columbus (FUN ambulance ride, btw) and we find out that it was (drumroll) a duodenal ulcer and a pancreatic mass. The mass is blocking a bile duct and sending liver enzymes back into my bloodstream, which is causing the jaundice (my eyes look lie the whites have been colored in with a yellow highlighter). Can't see the mass clearly until the ulcer is healed, so that's where I am now. I go back up to C-bus next Thursday for a followup and consult before my next procedure.

I appreciate all the prayers.
