Now they’re saying Charles is going in for a prostate condition. Hmm.
I agree, two weeks seems like a long time for Kate though. And Easter is a long way away.

i'm surprised she is in for that long... her home is big enough and they could arrange for 24hr nursing staff if needed. odd.

Yeah, I've had a hysterectomy. 3 days in the hospital, then off work for a month (I heal fast, so that was kinda boring). Hmmm.

Nah they do those for day surgery in the UK now. Could be gall bladder/hernia or a tummy tuck. Or a gastric band.... i'm surprised she is in for that long... her home is big enough and they could arrange for 24hr nursing staff if needed. odd. And wouldn't it be nicer to be at home.

Kate's at the London Clinic. On their site it says they 'specialise in the care and treatment of complex medical conditions, such as cancer, women's health, urology, and orthopaedics'
Whatever it is, it was probably only recently planned seeing as she had engagements booked.

^ I thought of that too. It is a long time in hospital though. I know a healthy looking guy, who was also pretty slim, who had ended up in the hospital with septic peritonitis. He had Crohn's and was accustomed to ignoring pain symptoms, which in this case, turned out to be a blocked small intestine that burst. He was in the hospital for a month, and part of it was in some kind of coma. Gallbladder stuff is usually pretty minor due to laparoscopic surgery. But there can be complications from that, which could put you in the hospital. She doesn't have the 4 F's, though.

They don't disclose what happened with Kate but they announce Charles has an enlarged prostate? 😂😂
I mean I don't think any of it is anyone's business but seemed kind of funny to me.
Honestly, unplanned abdominal surgery with a hospital stay of 10 days makes me think bad things like cancer. Hopefully it was something simple and they are just overprotective of her.

The annoucement said it was planned and that she has asked for privacy regarding her medical information. Chuck must have signed off on that information. It's a good spot to annouce he has a prostate issue- help raise awareness and all that. IMO, monied folks (celebrities, royals, etc) that have easy access to healthcare often stay in the much longer than us folks bound to insurance. They can basically afford to pay until they're ready to leave vs. us that insurance boots us out of the bed. However, most routine abdominal surgeries are ambulatory or maybe a few days stay. My thinking is, it was something invasive and intense or she has some unexpected complications from something that was supposed to be routine.

I've had two lots of serious operations in 18 months & was in no longer than 5 days for each. When I looked open repairs to hernias were 1-2 weeks hospital stay (for us "common" folk) and an extended recovery time. The thing that suggested it to me was the long recovery time which happens when they go through your stomach muscles (in the UK). gpcpd.heiw.wales/non-clinical/return-to-work/recovery-from-common-surgical-procedures/

If she’s in hospital that long it has to be serious. I think the palace specifically said it’s not cancerous but yeah it has to be pretty major.

Once I was seen in the ER (about 3:00 a.m.) I had surgery about 9:00 a.m. and was home by 5:00. She might be undergoing treatment for an eating disorder.

Yeah, even hip replacement is outpatient. In 6am, surgery 8am, discharge 3pm.

^^^ peasants like you and me get booted from the hospital ASAP because that's all the insurance companies are willing to pay. but for someone of kate's means (size of house and ability for 24hr nursing + MD visits at home), the fact that she is staying in the hospital for ths long means that it is something serious. unless it's her first facelift. then she has reason to stay in the hospital.

My dad had an exploratory abdominal surgery that opened him neck to groin- 2x in 3 days. (Abdominal aorta rupture due to clot busting meds for a widow maker heart attack). He wound up in the cardiac ICU for nearly 5 months. His would opened up near the heart, got infected, he contracted c diff, bacterial colitis. Before the rupture, he was 2 days post dead in the ER from the heart attack. If he passed day 3 without issue from the meds, he was getting discharged home. Crazy shit.

I had a tummy tuck with a DR repair, so the surgery was more invasive than a regular tummy tuck. In the US it’s usually an outpatient surgery. It certainly is not a two week hospital stay. I was in and out the same day. Two weeks is a really long time. I also don’t see any indication that she would need a tummy tuck. She wears a lot of tight fitting clothes and her stomach appears completely flat?? I wonder if it’s a bowel twisting issue? My brother in law has this issue and is routinely hospitalized for it for 2-3 weeks at a time. He is also very thin because the twisting means that he can’t eat solid foods. He’s had to get surgery a few times to untwist his bowels or to cut pieces out that can’t be untangled.
