On Monday evening the consultant came to visit Roger. The good news is that they are considering Thursday as a possible discharge day, which is great!
He also broke the news that when he reversed the reversal operation, because it had to be done quickly, as an emergency, the stoma was plumbed into the small intestine. It cannot stay like this permanently, and therefore he will ultimately have to have yet another operation to connect it permanently to the large intestine. Mr. F will discuss it further when we see him in out patient's clinic.
Unfortunately it was after visiting time when he turned up to see Roger, so he was on his own when he received the news, and was quite upset, as you can immagine!
Anyway we will now concentrate on getting him as fit and fat as possible for future surgery.
