Earlier this week my wife was transferred to Rennes after being at the readaptation hospital in Pontivy for a couple of weeks.
I managed to visit yesterday (parking at the hospital is difficult) She was having more scans so only saw her for a while.
Today the doctor at Rennes telephoned to say that Janet was being transferred to Paris tomorrow for surgery. He said it was to repair two fractures in her vertebrae that were not healing in a good way. He said the operation was very complex and could have serious repercussions if it did not go well. The operation is scheduled for Monday. He asked if I would be going to Paris and I said yes. He advised me to go before the operation to see my wife, which is disconcerting.
My friends here have rallied round and I have a lift to Auray for train, another found a hotel near the hospital another booked our dog into kennels for tomorrow and my wife’s sons have been informed.
I am hoping for a good outcome but needless to say I am worried sick.
Thanks I will keep you informed, hopefully with good news.

Unable to sleep I checked in on the forum and saw your post Jivedance
I am so sorry you have this worry, so pleased you have such good support, and so admire your strength – I know you need it very much.
Your wife is being transferred to give her the very best possible chance of the very best outcome. Try and keep positive, try and keep strong.
You and your wife are in all our thoughts and prayers.

Hopefully, it is comforting to know you and your wife are in the thoughts and prayers of so many. Sincere best wishes to her for a complete recovery.
So sorry and will be thinking of you and hoping all goes well. The transfer to the hospital in Paris should give your wife the chance of the best outcome. Try not to worry too much about being told to see her before the operation the thing I have learned here is that doctors are always very cautious

Jivedance, what a difficult time for you both. Best wishes to you both. I’m hoping for a successful outcome.
Jivedance, sincere best wishes, you have some lovely people here backing you 100%.
Take care and keep us updated,
Jivedance, best wishes for the up an coming operation that all goes well. Take care.
It is a shame that the problems were not picked up earlier.
We wish you and Mrs Jivedance the best of luck for Monday and beyond. It is important that you remain positive and strong. Hopefully the operation will put her firmly on the right road to recovery.
Good luck to you both.
I am sure everyone here is hoping for a good outcome. Best wishes, strength in numbers.
Just hoping that all goes well…and that jivedance has the time to pop in and let us know.
My wife had her operation on Monday. All day long we had no news. To say I was pretty stressed is an understatement. One of my wife’s sons stayed with me, neither of us got much sleep. Today I told the lady owner of the hotel we not heard. She got on the telephone and seemed to be sorting a few people out. We went back to hospital and someone did speak to us to say the operation went well. However they said she was in recovery and we could not see her. My helpful lady got on to the hospital and said to go back at 6.0 which I did. I was kept waiting for an hour and a half. I then told them this was not good enough. The surgeon then came and spoke to me. I told her I was not happy having to wait 30 hours for news. She apologised and said she did try to call me. During the operation my wife lost a lot of blood and needed a transfusion.
The hospital is the George’s Pompidou in Paris. Janet is going to be in it for at least a fortnight. I can stay until Friday. Surgeon told me to return tomorrow and she will take me to see Janet.
I cannot remember having so much stress and not sure how I got through yesterday and today. Writing it out helps.

Good news jd….now you need patience and confidence that all will work out.
The hospitals here are second to none…she will be getting everything she needs..
im so happy she got through the operation…the following days are so important…
be strong…she needs you to be really strong.
thinking of you both.
I feel for you Jivedance. Waiting is so stressful, pleased you have company. Best wishes for good news over the next few days.
What an awful experience Jivedance with receiving no update. Great that she is through the operation and in recovery. I’m sure, that she will be really pleased to see you. Take care and keep strong.
So sorry for your very stressful time, Try not to worry too much about the transfusion husband has had them often and when he haemorrhaged a litre and a half of blood in the house the doctor told me not to worry as it was only 5 bags of blood!! I found it helpful to find the nurse that was mainly responsible for husband’s care so when I phoned or visited I asked to speak to him or her and found them helpful and with the time to update me and answer my questions. The doctors were available but it was always a little more difficult as during visiting hours they were often on their breaks. Also a box of biscuits for the nursing staff goes down well. I supplied a box of biscuits each week husband was hospitalised
