I agree. I was shocked. Its hard as his wife to watch him suffer. The man never complains, and if he says in hurts, it hurts.

I'm seeing a lot more tylenol/NSAID management for post operative patients (c-sections, hernias, hysterectomies, etc). However we always give narcs for breakthrough. The cancer patients are the exception, particularly the stage 4 ones. They still get non narcotic pain alternatives but that's in combination with narcs.
Thank you for your input. I feel significantly more at ease. Hopefully, this is truely just the continued leakage. When my dad's labs came through electronically, I was initally shocked and alarmed. Now I feel cautiously optimistic.His urologist us going to mess with catheter sizing and try to inflate the balloon a bit more to put a bit of a stretch and seal up that leak. He'll give it two more weeks to see if the fistula can repair itself before going in for a corrective surgery.
I'd be worried about a bladder leak given the bladder injury. Need to aspirate and sample that fluid before writing it off as simple ascities, imho.
