I had a leak as well and after four transfusions I was good to go and they didn't need to go back in to fix it. Things are fantastic now.

Yes, totally shocked. I had no idea but they can heal. If I kept bleeding they were going back in but luckily it slowed then stopped.

2 weeks after surgery I was not feeling well.  Got very tired, did not like how anything tasted.  Got very cold with uncontrollable shakes, pain in the left back and shoulder.  When I got to the hospital, through CT, they found a small leak and absess in spleen.  I am getting abcess drained and fed through tube,  I also had to have blood transfusion and antibiotic and low potazium.  Now all the blood work is good,  I will have arepeat CT next week to see how everything wirked out,
