Hi everyone I have just come across this thread
My wife has now been in hospital since mid November with acute pancreatitis caused by gal stones ? and currently still in ICU she has 3 drains in one is in what the surgeons described as the head of the pancreas one in the tail and a superficial one in the abdomen
She has been nil by mouth for the whole time in there and has had numerous infections which keep giving her sepsis showers , her blood sugars have been fairly good all the way through and she is being fed intravenously also on 3 different antibiotics as well as strong pain meds.
By reading this thread it has given me some sort of hope of getting her back home where she belongs
I just need to try and get my head round how life changing this will be for her ?
