You all may think Im crazy to be posting on a chat board right now but I am sitting in my husbands empty room because they just took him back to surgery.
All I have is my laptop, no family here, everything was looking good...
At about 630 he started bleeding from the rectum. About 830 they took him back into surgery.
I am so scared.
Doc said the connection could have came loose or it might just be a staple that came loose.
Dh was pretty snowed with the pain meds and seemed confused.
Im scared.

    I am sorry
    I am sorry your husband had to return to surgery. Hopefully there is just a minor adjustment to be made + he will be right back in his room before you know it.

    Don't be scared. I know it's hard, but these things happen. The surgeon will find out what's wrong and fix it. He'll be back soon.
    Take care - Roger

    Honey, sit back, slow deep breaths. They caught a problem while your love is in the hospital, what better timing is that? They can fix it. He's in good caring hands.
    And if I were in the same situation as you? I'd be on my laptop too. You're not crazy, you're alone and scared and worried, after all, that's your love they just wheeled away, I would not expect less from my husband if I were in that situation.
    I only wish someone was there to hold your hand and keep you calm. I'm cyber holding your hand, my thoughts are with you and your husband.
    Just know, he's in the best place possible when having a problem, and you are there waiting for him when he returns.
    Have faith all will be well.
    My heart and hugs to you both.

    Heck no, we don't think you're crazy. You need us and that's why we are here for you. I'm sure it's just a simple fix and he will be back right away soon. But in the meantime, pass the sweet tea, please. Keep us posted as to what the problem was and how they fixed it, kay?
