Thank you all for your posts and wishes. I spoke to the hospital at 3:30am and she was out of surgery and all went very well........details when I see the surgeon.
Yesterday when we were admitted to hospital again (in the early morning) they did another set of x-rays that showed her upper bowel (spelling) being blocked. Basically the walls of the bowel had stuck together. This is something that happens if you have had surgery before and as they move the bowels out of the way it can happen.
What that means is that the food doesn't pass the stomach and stays in there which in the end you throw up as it has nowhere to go. You don't fart, it builds up air pressure in the stomach and all in all creates this sort of situation. The blood tests showed she was a bit dehydrated (expected) and everything else was normal.
She was seen by 5 different doctors, 1 A&E, 2 Gastroenterologists and 2 Surgeons. All after seeing the x-rays came to the same conclusion. This was not obvious on the x-rays done on Monday.
I spoke to the hospital again this morning and she had a good nights sleep and she didn't complain of pain......she is obviously on strong painkillers
Quiff - last night had some food myself at last
Very nice big steak and her parents will be here late lunch time. I'll be as strong as I need to be to see her get well....this is not just any girlfriend
This is the name of happiness and love in my life!!
Thank you all again for your posts, sms's and calls. They are truly very much appreciated!!
