Evening everyone, my husband had a total nephrectomy 12 days ago. We were told surgery was successful but that there was some slight damage to vein connecting spleen, he had to stay in hospital longer than planned (5 days) and was given 4 units of blood. At first his recovery was going well but he now has no appetite and thirst. We’ve tried everything to get him to eat and drink more. He is getting weaker and more lethargic. We have returned to the hospital twice and receive the same advice, drink more and eat little and often ( no criticism of the doctors and nurses who have been amazing). Has anyone experienced this and how did you manage your way out of it? Thanks for any advice.
