Re: surgery complications - or what?
Pam,
I'm sorry I misunderstood what you meant. Your mentioned the diarrhea and then you said, >>>They ordered stool samples so are 2 have come back with blood in the urine.<<< So I thought you were concerned about blood in your urine?
I'm thinking the same thing Sassy just said...hemorroids or small tears can look alot worse then it is. The amount of blood will look much more serious then it really is. If it's really bright red I'll bet that's what it is. If the blood is a little on the browner side it usually is coming from up further. If your still on the Tykerb that might be adding to the problem especially after such a big surgery. Three days of diarrhea would make it hard for that area to heal up if that is what it is? I hope your doctors figure this out for you because I can imagine how stressful this is for you. I sure wish I could be more helpful. Let us know what you find out? Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers always.
Chelee
