Email Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been hospitalized since Jan. 1 for complications following a surgery to treat prostate cancer, officials at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center said Tuesday.
The news of Austin’s treatment and condition came after a tortious week during which Austin was hospitalized, but the Pentagon refused to say why.
Austin underwent the initial prostate cancer surgery on Dec. 25, during which he was under general anesthesia, according to doctors from Walter Reed.
On Jan. 1, Austin experienced complications from the surgery including nausea and severe abdominal, hip and leg pain, which was later identified as a urinary tract infection. On Jan. 2, he was admitted to the intensive care unit at Walter Reed where he was treated for intestinal issues.

The surgery was on the 22nd.
Actually a lot of elective surgery is done the days before Christmas as most people will take the next week off from work. It is probably the least productive week of the year.
+1, my response was 100% sarcasm :)
This article does not jibe with what the Pentagon just said. The date the pentagon just said was the ‘22nd.
But the real question is did he get taken to see a space alien for their annual meeting?
The word is not at the source. Maybe caught and changed after original was posted?
They nicked something. I had a temporary colostomy for a perforated bowel in 2010, and came out of it with no infection. Had the reversal three months later, as well as a repair to an incisional hernia where the stoma had been a year later, and had my gall bladder surgically (not laparoscopically) removed in 2015, and had no infections of any kind after any of them. And as far as I know they never gave me antibiotics after any of those surgeries, and they never sent me home with any.
Sad that nicking the colon sounds common, guy in my office went thru the same thing.
So first an “elective procedure” on the 22nd, then prostate surgery on the 25th, then ICU on the 1st. If the elective procedure was a biopsy, then the surgery 3 days later (on Christmas Day), then the biopsy result must have been pretty bad, requiring emergent treatment/removal. Most prostate cancer is pretty slow, but some forms are very aggressive.
It must be very serious to have surgery on Christmas Day.
But more to the point... why all the secrecy and hush - hush?!
The Xiao Bai Dung regime couldn’t tell the truth, even if it benefitted them.
but how do you really feel?
get your prostate exam.
Now we know what it wasn’t.
“Your an idiot.”
The jokes just write themselves.
Yeah.
On another thread yesterday, I posted the reminder that on February 8, 2010, then Democrat Congressman John Murtha (Pa.) died at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., where he was admitted on Jan. 31. The gallbladder surgery was performed days earlier at the National Naval Medical Center, in Bethesda, Md. They nicked his large intestine during the operation.
I knew that it had to be something related to the prostate or the penis.
Only a man HIS AGE would want to keep this quiet.
It’s a story.
Who the heck knows if it’s true.
We don’t.
An email taylor swift’s dad sent a former manager recently made the internet rounds again. It comes off as unhinged.
In it he talks about having his prostrate sucked out by a robot and having to wear a diaper for 7 weeks. I assume because of prostate cancer. I don’t know if it was before or after he was picking up 15,000 rubber ducks out of the river.
If anyone wants to know what it takes to make it in the music biz you should take a look at Scott Swift’s email.
My question as well. Who has “elective” surgery on Christmas Day?
It's not the nick that kills you, it's the sepsis.
The surgery was on the 22nd.
Actually a lot of elective surgery is done the days before Christmas as most people will take the next week off from work. It is probably the least productive week of the year.
FTA ...

So, you know, personally, that CNBC is lying?
Were you with Austin, at the hospital? Just curious.
