Hi @yellie,

Your husband is strong and courageous!

It is a lot to handle, and honestly, recovery is tougher than I ever anticipated. I never imagined I’d have to undergo a surgery as tough as the Whipple.

Before the surgery, I couldn’t even begin to picture what recovery would feel like. The pain and the struggle to move around have been some of the hardest challenges I've faced in my life. And having to take the drain home with me was just another constant pain.

They say recovery can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months, so it’s definitely a long road ahead.

Please send my best to him. I hope he’s doing well and that he recovers quickly!

Take care.
