Getting to the root of the problem

Another quick note to give you the latest on David. They did NOT do the procedure today, but it is now scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday). They DID figure out something important, though: David has chronic pancreatitis, which probably explains most of the intermittent problems that he's been having for the last year or two. In fact, the doctor, who we think is the head doctor on the unit (פנימית א -- Internal Medicine Aleph), actually apologized to David that she had not found it when he was hospitalized there a year ago. Of course, the doctors at Rambam did not find it either when he was hospitalized there for 10 days last winter! Anyway, the important thing is that they have found finally found it. Now his treatment will be more focused, and he will probably be just generally feeling better for the long run.
