It's been a very long day. Things went fairly well today. The Dr. was unable to solve the problem but he was able to get access to the duct and insert a stent as a temporary measure. Since my mom's anatomy is so very different fro the standard following previous surgery the tools that are designed for a standard anatomy wouldn't work. He's ordering special ones and will have another go at it in a month or two. In the meanwhile the stent should provide her some relief from the pain and medication may dissolve some of the stones in the duct.

So he wasn't able to complete the procedure but he was able to get more done than he feared and was able to map out a plan for the follow-up procedure down the road.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts, they are greatly appreciated.

After a very stressful day I took myself off to the kitchen for some cooking therapy. I'm having noodles for lunch tomorrow.


On left are soba noodles in a sesame sauce with veggies and tofu. On the right the large compartment has sautéed tofu and stir fried mixed vegetable. The smaller compartment has cucumber, carrots, edamame and a strawberry.
