Wahoo Recovery
The legal drugs they give you at the hospital are pretty good! There is an absolute void in my memory - which is good - means no pain!!! The part of the hospital stay that I remember is not that great. First of all, the surgical supplies were not all ordered and delivered and the surgery was delayed for 2 hrs. Keep in mind that I had not eaten or drank anything since the evening before. Then when I was "recovered" in the recovery room and ready for my room the damn room wasn't ready. I was registered in advance of this event so it is not like they didn't know I was coming!! Finally, at about 7:05pm they rolled me into the room where my first request of the nurse was to have something to eat and drink since I was starving. I fell asleep so around 10pm when I asked yet again (still not even water) the nurse assured me that I would be served a Healthy Choice frozen dinner. Never brought to room - at 2:45am I decided to take matters in my own hands and since the always write the room phone number on a grease board I dropped the room number and dialed all zeros and got someone that answered saying Doctor's ???" (can't remember the 2nd word) where I explained my dilemma. Finally, at 3am they delivered to me a really gross meal - however, I was able to eat the carrots and the dessert and was thrilled. I'm healing nicely - have 6 small incisions starting at the groin area and ending near my asshole (OUCH) I was apparently in stirrups for 2 1/2hours - trying walking after that. The desired results of this surgery have in deed been worth the pain and hunger.link | posted by BootyJC at 2:54 PM
