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.

Even this is contradictory. A UTI wouldn't cause "intestinal issues".

It really sounds like the drs nicked his colon while dealing with the prostate cancer.

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.

My first thought was a blood clot..

A lady I know went back into the hospital shortly after a hysterectomy for additional surgery. Turned out they punctured an intestine in the process.

The is a lot of post operative pain after that procedure. You have to use a catheter for a few weeks. Maybe he just couldn’t handle it.

Sounds like a bowel perforation
