my husband was fine...one nurse tried to kick him out when visiting hours ended (theres always one killjoy :smile:) and he promptly told her he was my husband, not "a visitor"... she insisted he couldnt stay, even though we'd been told by several people he could stay, so he asked to speak with a nursing manager - the manager hooked him up with no problem. i was in a room alone and being that this was my first surgery and hospital stay ever, it was nice having him with me...:thumbup:
