Previously informed you I was to have the Whipple procedure

Recently out of hospital

Stopped rivaroxiban 48 hours before admission on 18th November

6 hour operation on 18th then another couple of hours opened up again due to complications some 4 days later

Developed a superbug so was isolated in HDU for about 17 days I think, released last. Friday 13th to home and community care

Back on rivaroxiban on 10th Dec

In the interim I had injections to stop blood clots/ strokes.

At its worst the monitors indicated HR of 140 plus.

My conditions at time ?

Pancreatitis with pre cancer- AF and Bronchiectasis, hopefully only the last 2 now

I was confident that all involved took utmost care and that now on a long road to recovery
