but isn't it considered an emergency? maybe it is a small area in his case.

my husband had a large resection of his bowel a few years ago and was up and recovering pretty well in a week. being a somewhat typical man, that week was miserable (at least for me, LOL)

at any rate, sending good thoughts and wishes for a fast recovery!
