It's just not a smooth ride, is it?! I took my husband to our local ER Sunday night and he was transported to Mayo right away - blood loss and cultures indicated infections, which he also had while in the hospital three weeks ago for his Whipple procedure. Everything in recovery was going well until this episode. Eating fine after Whipple but it seemed tough to gain any weight and energy - maybe it was because the infections were still there, who knows! Hopefully he'll get back on track after this visit and not have another emergency. They are still not sure what caused the sudden bleeding but he'll remain in their care until they have some answers. Nothing appears to be leaking on scans. It sure is a drag not being there for him.

@fassbinder Nothing goes the way I figure. When I got done with radiation, I figured I would be able to rest and relax at home and take some time to heal. No more trips to hospital for radiation. For the last few days, I did rest and relax. But it was in a hospital bed instead of at home. And now that I'm home, instead of going to the hospital for radiation treatments 5 days a week, I get to go to the hospital for antibiotics infusions 7 days a week.

I hope and pray things are back on track for your husband and that he can continue to recuperate from his Whipple.

Hello @fassbinder,

It has been a while since your last post about your husband's health. How is he doing?
