I Had Hernia Surgery A Month Ago And I Have Pain In My Stomach And Black Stool

i had hernia surgery a month ago, all of a sudden I have pain in my stomach and black stool, what's going on? I am a 58 year old man. I had hernia surgery a month ago and everything has been fine. Today I woke up with pain in my stomach and my stool is black. I recently had the flu this past week. Is this normal?
