Princess of Wales

I have no idea why the Proncess of Wales has had an operation and is in hospital for what some think is "too long" 🤔 after surgery.
However, I do remember a friend being admitted for an emergency operation for a twisted bowel years ago and he was in hospital for at least two weeks (possibly more) afterwards.

Catherine will be in hospital for as long as her doctors think is right.

My tablet can't spell.

I very much doubt that POW will be in hospital for 10-14 days- that timescale has most likely been given to allow for any potential problems which then wouldn't need to be explained. Should she be discharged in 7 days or so, which is what I expect, then everyone's a winner and hasn't she made a wonderful recovery! It's the same as saying you'll get a job done in 5 days - take 8 and you're not great at what you do, take 5 and you're a hero so always quote for 8!

My thoughts exactly. It’s far easier to take her out of the picture at the beginning to allow plenty of time for any wee complications.

Let's hope it is not too serious op and it is successful. I think the main point about her staying in hospital is that she has three young children It is hard to rest at home with them that is why she should be allowed respite from that responsibility. for instance when I had four hour op for cancer and was sent home the next day (to no-one) the best help was that my daughter looked after my dogs. You can't afford any responsibility when you are recovering. That's why it's best she is in the clinic and can just concentrate on herself. It's hard for mothers of young children not to put them first.
