Just drink more beer, hospitals use alcohol to clean things, in effect your cleaning your body. 

Fingers crossed its sorted soon. 

It could well be more likely that a total alcohol ban will follow from this episode if it turns out to be his pancreas

I had pancreatitis caused by gall stones, it's so painful. The mortality  rate for acute pancreatitis is about 20%. After having gall bladder removed its now sorted. Diet has been modified including giving up alcohol. 

They said mine was from my gallbladder.  I was hurting so bad I couldn’t breath.  They gave me shots to the but cheeks and within ten minutes I was feeling better.  They took more blood to test.  They said they try not to do surgery unless it 100% necessary 

One of the shots was something called tramadol? Or something like that.  The wife said it’s what they give women in labor.

As I recall, Tramadol is a synthetic form of Codeine.
My previous lab Mac had to have an eye removed at 9yo due to what was believed to be a tumour but turned out to be a completely detached retina.
He was in obvious pain so the vet gave him Tramadol to tide him over the weekend before he went in for surgery on the Monday.
I remember him rolling about the floor without a care in the world like a 3 month old puppy
Good stuff in the short term but can be addictive like Codeine.

Get well soon.  No fun being in hospital (I did a short spell in last year).

finally stopped the IV antibiotics yesterday, was on 4 doses a day, still confined to bed though the physiotherapist's did try to get me stood up yesterday, WOW,  was shaking with the effort, had to be supported just to stand, it must have been quite a close call caught just in time
