Well, just to bring those interested up to date.
My wife went into hospital last Thursday to have her operation. We were told it was to relocate the tube that runs from kidney to bladder OR to cut out the area of blockage in that tube.
She was asked to come in by 11:00am. I rang at 7:30pm to see how the operation went. "She's just gone into theatre."
At 10:30pm the Doctor rang me - we have just finished your wife's operation - it was very challenging - we had to get the Manager of Surgery in to give us a hand.
The surgeon told me that "the bowel is very fragile" and when we opened her up, the bowel split, so we had to do a bowel resection too. This is the third one she has had - first was semi-planned after her bowel was pierced during a colonoscopy, 2nd was to fix the problems caused by the first - and now a third. Just how much bowel has she got left?
She is in the Intensive Care Unit on all sorts of drips etc. She is nil-by-mouth for goodness knows how long.
Poor woman - can't take a trick.
Hopefully they won't make too many more problems.
