    Thanks for checking in and glad things are looking better.Sounds like the rest of this year you'll be focusing on getting healthy and hopefully around the first of the year you can start looking for a job.About the medicaid thing, I have a couple of kids you can gladly borrow but I fear it would only add to your health problems(they are slowly taking me out :wreck:),so no help there :-/.

    OK here is everything that has happened if you missed the first thread:
    About two weeks ago I started experiencing bad stomach pains and lost my ability to eat. After about two or three days I finally drove myself to he ER. After some test, they found out I had very high levels of pancreatic enzymes and basically, my pancreas had been digesting itself. No wonder I had abdominal pain ;) I was given a big bag of sodium chloride through an IV, along with pepcid and zofran also through the IV. They also drew up big dose of morphine for the IV, but I declined it due to me having to drive myself home after release. I was told to go to a clear liquid diet only until the pain was gone. As I said in the earlier post in this thread, I went back to the ER two days later, but it was a false alarm due to the antacids. But at that time, my pancreatic enzymes had returned to normal, so all was well. Or so I thought.
    The time I spent not eating and liquid only diet was just too long. A day and a half after the second ER visit, I literally passed out due to malnutrition. I was only out a few seconds, but it happened on a tile floor, and boy was my rear end sore :D Since then I have definitely paid more attention to eating ;) As of right now, I am pain free in my abdomen and eating pretty much three square meals a day. So all is well. I'm still here and not going anywhere soon ;) I was in a position to loose a pound or two ;) before this all started, but I could have come up with a lot of nicer ways to do it. In the two months since I had H1N1 then this, Ive dropped about 45 pounds. But I am on the mend now. Thank you all for your concerns and well wishes.
