George has had a dramatic increase in pain this last week. He has been unable to find a position that is comfortable to sleep. On Thurday night he was up all night, and by morning not only was he still in pain (even with medication) his feet were swollen. After informing Dr. W it was decided he would be admitted for pain control, and to rule out any clots in the lower legs.
Last night after the first dose of IV pain medication he was feeling much more comfortable. I came home late and her was feeling very loopy and tried form the meds. His night was not pain free, and were still working on adjustments of the dose to achieve comfort.
The plan is for him to be transported over to UCLA's main Hospital in Westwood to undergo a
procedure done that blocks the nerves surrounding the Pancreases. The block is done via endoscopic scope so he will be out for the procedure. As of a few minutes ago we are still waiting for a time, as he is being added on to the schedule. He is also having an ultrasound on the legs to check for any clots.
I will update later today after the procedure. George appreciates all the messages, but please understand that he is so out of it from the pain medications that responding to text or
messages is just not possible. I'm sure Sunday or Monday will be better.
