What Causes Bruising Around Incision Site Post Hernia Surgery?
My grandmothet had an operation for hernia and had part of large and small bowel removed and then a large pe a few weeks later. She barely ate before op due to pain and has not eaten since (roughly 3/4 weeks) she is now in bed too weak to walk and a syringe driver and catheter was fitted yesterday, hee skin is also bruising more. Ia this a sign of days or weeks left?
As you explain the situation it seems not a good one. I understand your concern but you should be explained by her treating doctor for her expectations further. Please talk with him or her.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
