Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the OCC
karliy replied to Kindle's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Hi girls I was finally admitted to my local Hosp today and I cried in relief! My tonsils are so huge I was swabbing my own spit and dehydrating fast! I have a high pain tolerance but I had reached my 10. They had to do a CT scan of my neck with dye to check for abscess. That came back neg for now. I am on morphine and tordol which is quite lovely until the 5th hour. I'm supposed to be here for several days -

I should add the one thing I am thankful for is my fever isn't related to my surgery. And OCC called to check on me today! -

Oh girls I feel HORRIBLE!!! Fever is 101.6 and I went to the dr 1st thing this morning. They tested me for strep and flu and it's flu! I'm highly contagious and quarantined for 3 -4 days. I can hardly drink my throat hurts so badly but I am terrified of dehydration. So I'm still trying to drink as much as I can! My family arrives today from 1200 miles away and I cannot even be with them. All I want to do is cry! Help! -

Back2barb that's helpful info! Thanks. I wondered if it wouldn't be kind of like that... But one can always hope batman an robin have some fancy magic glue right? so do I need to pack gauze and tape then? I'm hoping u say no cause I can't find my medical tape anywhere! -

Angie thanks that sounds lovely! I'm pretty sure I'm gonna overpack even though I'm trying not too! Lol I just want this day to be over and be on my way! -

karliy replied to Kindle's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Yeah that's what I figured... Lol. But back2barb said she had planned to spend time at the pool! I guess the key word there was AT the pool not IN the pool? I would love to lay in the sunshine but I guess I could do that in my pjs! -

So this is probably a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway... How long till I can get my incisions wet? I'm trying to pack... we leave in the morning and I wondered if it was worth taking my swimsuit? -
