Rick's latest diagnosis

Rick checked himself into the emergency room this morning after being sick for the last two days. I suspect he was thinking swine flu, but it came back pancreatitis - an inflammation of the pancreas. Very painful. He is now on a ward at Harrogate Hospital. We are going over to see him in about an hour. He'll be in the hospital for a few days, as the pancreas needs to rest which means no food for the next 3 or 4 days. I'll post a phone number in case anyone wants it, but it will be an international number. It doesn't sound serious, he just needs to be in the hospital so he can be hooked up to the IV. Researching, it looks like that pesky gall bladder could be the cause of the mischief, but as of right now, no clue.
