Early August, 2014
In June I began feeling bad. My appetite was limited. I couldn't eat much. I had reflux. I lost weight. My skin was slightly yellow. I started seeing doctors when I cam home early from vacation in mid July. Then on August 8th, I finally had an MRI. The suspicion was that my bile duct had somehow malfunctioned as it had in early 2002 and I was suffering from a minor case of the major infection I had then. In 2002, I was very sick and vomiting. This year, only slight discomfort, but Debra thought I might be yellow. The doctor called me the same afternoon on the 8th to let me know they would need an endoscopic procedure to put a stint in my bile duct to ensure that it stayed open.
On the 12th I got a call from the scheduling offices for Dr. Pham, apparently one of the city's best for the "ERCP" endoscopy procedure. That led to the beginning of the journey I am on now.
