I am sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident. But surgically speaking, it is fairly common to resect (cut) the tail of the pancreas when removing the spleen, esp when the tail is buried deep in the spleen and more so in an emergency (as was in your case). But this does not in any way affect the health of the patient as the pancreas heals by itself. We routinely resect the tail of the pancreas in patients who develop some tumors of the distal pancreas and they do very well post-operatively. Regarding your bones getting thin, I am not sure what you mean, but if you meant weak, I would suggest some vitamin D and calcium supplements.
Hope you feel better soon.
