Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Hi again, I only post here periodically. My husband is getting ready for surgery on Monday. He is having a drain put in his pseudocyst, which is now almost 12 cm x 12 cm x 12 cm (as per the lastest scan on Monday). They are going to drain it to his intestine. We will find out tomorrow if he is going to have the spleen removed as well. Unfortunately his hiatal hernia is now 11 cm; however, they will not attempt to fix that given the seriousness relating to this surgery. Kurt, I wanted to thank you for responding to my other message. It is comforting to know you are doing well after this procedure. I will post next week and let you know how my husband does. It is scary watching him go through this, I can't imagine how horrible it must be actually enduring all of this. His pain hasn't been bad this week for some reason--he has only had one bad day, which has prompted him to say he doesn't need the surgery although at this point he doesn't have much choice. Heidi, thanks for your messages of support as well. I am very thankful that my husband has not been as severe as I know it can get. He can still lead a relatively normal life. I am hoping after this surgery, alot of the recent pain and discomfort he has been experiencing will go away. I will post in the middle of next week, my friends are watching our children so I can stay at the hospital with my husband. The hospital is 70 miles away so I am just going to stay up there so I am close. I will come home mid-week and will post more then. Again, many thanks, I read on this board and although I don't post much, I do appreciate reading from the many special people on this board.
