I am 3 weeks post distal pancreatectomy with spleen removal. I am a 68 YO male who was in fine condition prior to surgery. It has been miserable! Shooting pain when I breathe, nausea, fever and lack of appetite. 9 days in the hospital….then got to go home and sleep in my own bed. The most wonderful feeling. Spiked a fever…..doctor can’t figure out exactly why……getting antibiotics and hoping.
