Hubby had his operation 4 weeks ago now, had a few problems ended back in hospital 3 days after discharge for another week. He's having a few good days but is it normal to still get pains in his stomach, he didn't have any morphine for the last 2 days but already had 2 lots today. I'm just worried that I have to take him back to a&e. He's doing all normal bodily functions. Just in unknown waters as to what is normal healing and what we should be concerned about. Thank you
He's had a massive gastro intestinal trauma. I don't know for sure as I haven't got that far yet, but I imagine it's quite normal. Don't ask for advice on here though please ring his specialist nurse at the hospital for the answers you need. That's what they are there for. It could be that he needs to go back in for a short while longer.
Please call them now and let them know what's happening.
Best regards
Geo.
Hi Deb, very sorry to hear that.
I have the numbers of four specialist gastro intestinal cancer nurses and my surgeons mobile to call anytime. I'm going to Royal Derby hospital.
Why the difference I wonder. I feel really cossited by my team and all the staff I've come into contact with so far, including receptionist, porters and the like.
Try calling someone on here. I'm sure they would be over the moon to talk and advise.
Keep posting
Best regards
Geo
