I’m wondering this. My friend had a radical hysterectomy and I remember her first days home being miserable for her. So much pain and she had a catheter to deal with on top of everything. And then, cancer treatments.

My elderly aunt had a laparoscopic hysterectomy and was up and walking about that day. She was annoyed they kept her overnight and we had to force her to rest the next day.

Laparoscopic is the key word there.

If it had been Gyn, she’d have gone to St Mary’s or the Portman.

Wow, DCUM folks really sleuthed this out. Never disappoint, DCUM.

So yeah, very likely some sort of digestive or colon issues: Crohn's, UC, or a bowel perforation.

My best friend had a bowel perforation while working overseas as an expat. It took forever to get properly diagnosed (months) and when they finally figured out that it was a perforation, he was in the hospital for about 2 weeks to recover after the surgery. You're on a ton of antibiotics and need round the clock observation.

Wrong - this hospital does treat fibroids and endometriosis so could have been in the gyno department.

No one is staying in the hospital for 2 weeks and then recovering for 3 months from fibroid surgery.

Exactly. It's all keyhole these days. Few days in hospital at best. Something way more going on here - breakdown? And no notification before the surgery, yet a week notification of Charle's surgery and we are told about that a mere few hours to take the heat of her announcenement....

Yet, I think when it comes to planning she HAS to take significant time off. What if she ain’t better and she has rescheduled with people… only to have to postpone again.

People! She doesn’t have a medical reception job. She’s not a lawyer. She’s not a teacher or stay at home mom. She isn’t a govt analyst or technical writer.

Of her lifelong job, she can rest for a while. You don’t even know what it’s been like. Maybe it’s not even the recovery, but a no-pressure rest that is needed.

I'm not saying she doesn't have to recover, but let's be real here. She's essentially a stay at home mom with a full household staff who "works" a few hours per week doing ribbon cuttings and meet-and-greets. She does the least amount of work of any of the working royals as it is.

And?

She’s a non-essential human being?

The world will continue to spin with or without Kate cutting a few ribbons.

She can’t do public appearances until that is resolved.

The world will be lost without her. She MUST return as quickly as possible. Those ribbons wont just cut themselves.

The BRF gets funding from taxpayers to do the ribbon cuttings. If they want to stop, I’m sure the taxpayers will be happy to stop giving them $ (and they would live happily ever after with the private wealth). But, they just got a 45% raise so…

Nobody would be knocking Kate is she were a SAHM married to a banker. But she has a taxpayer funded job, one she barely shows up for as it is. She hasn't exactly earned a lot of goodwill with her strong work ethic, unlike the Queen. Speaking of the Queen, she never took an extended leave like this, and she had bone cancer in the end and worked hard into her 90s.

The plastic surgery or "injury" crowd seem a bit far afield.

What digestive-related surgery would possibly require that long of a hospital stay and recovery?

Colon resection can be required for a variety of reasons. Hospital stay and recovery from that surgery can be 2 weeks for a variety of reasons.

DP. My mother had multiple surgeries on her colon for a resection, bowel obstructions, ostomy bag, various complications--you name it. None of those surgeries required a 2 week hospital stay and they certainly didn't require a 3-month recovery period. Even if the BRF was overestimating the hospital stay (for privacy or out of an abundance of caution), the 3 month long recovery is odd.

good for your mother. I'm another sample size of 1 with similar issues and I did required multiple surgeries and 2 weeks hospital stay and a total of 3 months recovery (with home nurse aids coming to the house for wound care)

Then the taxpayers can kick them out.

So the news outlets claim she and William had plenty of engagements this month, so this surgery wasn't really 'planned'. What if it was actually an ectopic pregnancy, with complications arising this week that have resulted in her not only losing the baby but an emergency hysterectomy being done? Would that be closer to a 2 week hospital stay and 2 month recovery perhaps?

Apparently stomach cancer, for at least a few years and kept under wraps. The spread to the bone cancer in the later stages was what stifled her ability to continue her duties as rigourously as previously. Kate's situation is weird - needing all that time away? Something going on...she needs a 3 month break from it all?

Absolutely not, unless there’s a mental health component.

Apparently so. Did you think she had to ask in advance for her PTO and find a replacement before turning her OOO reply on? Or are you aware she's not exactly like you?

Kate will be Queen. Elizabeth worked while she was waiting. Diana worked while she was waiting. Why does Kate get a pass? Anne and Sophie do more engagements than she does, they will never be Queen. What's your point?

Elizabeth reportedly had multiple myeloma. It is not a bone cancer.
