Tell the wifey to hang in there. She will be fine to keep fighting on. Just an fyi, I was sent home with 23 self injectable blood thinners. I am doing ok at 9 days post op. But I have to say that I’m having some gut issues: lots of gas, and diarrhea. Lot gut related pains. I can’t seem to figure it out. Could be not enough enzymes etc…. Nevertheless keep pushing forward with the wife it will get better with time rest and healing.
