We headed to the hospital at 8:45 this morning for Shelley's procedure and returned home at 3:45. She is now the proud owner of a (permanent) "Wallstent RX Biliary Endoprosthesis!
In the early stages of the procedure, the drugs did not quite do their job resulting in Shelley "assisting the medical team" through several attempts at pulling her tubes out early. The team, however, was quick to offer her more "happy juice." When "second rounds" were still not enough, they offered her "thirds." That is by way of saying that Shelley is now sound asleep in her own bed and will likely be in that state until this time tomorrow.
Presently, she has a bit of a temperature which will need to be monitored throughout the night to make certain it doesn't rise above 38. Should that happen, we will need to, once again, acquaint ourselves with Emerg. However, there are no intentions in this household to fill our bed-sitting-room with any more paramedic guests however nice they might be!
With gratitude and relief to be on the other side of our stint with the stent! Praise be!
