Elisabethsew 50 Posted June 28, 2009 I went alone and everyone else there had someone with them so it was a bit lonely. The other patient will definitely appreciate you being there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malaika 50 Posted June 28, 2009 I went alone and everyone else there had someone with them so it was a bit lonely. The other patient will definitely appreciate you being there. That is why Ruthi and I had our surgery on the same day so Bob could be there for both of us ... although Ruthi was such a wonder woman after surgery, it was hard to keep up with her! It's always nice to have someone there just in case -- you're wife is lucky you wanted to be there and the other gal will benefit from your presence as well.

I think that was the most difficult part for Bob was the fact that he wasn't allowed in the recovery room. Although he was most impressed that Dr. Aceves came to the room personally and gave him an up date ... she should be back in your room in about 2 hours. She'll be druggy for the rest of the day I'm sure. Everytime I stopped moving, I fell asleep ... I was that way alot on the 2nd day as well, so don't be surprised.

Ky.hen 5 Posted June 29, 2009 Jaffa Steve, I'm so glad that they are doing so well. I feel for your wife with the gas pain. I had it for several days when I had a hysterectomy a few years ago. I walked with a hot water bottle held against my stomach. Give her a big hug. That will help alot. Judy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted June 29, 2009 That's weird that wireless won't work for you. I used Dr. Campos' computer every day after 3 pm and it worked just great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is very sweet of you to do... liquids. It's sooo hard to do liquids when everyone else is eating yummie things. Your wife is very lucky, I hope she realizes that. AND DID YOU GIVE HER A HUG FROM ALL OF US??? You better, or ELSE! ;o) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomorrow, we hope to walk that out. That sounds exactly like Ruthi and I .... hmmm ... maybe it has something to do with who goes first and who goes second? I was first like Kathy ... Ruthi after me. Just kidding .. totally coincidental, but I feel for her. Did you bring a heating pad? It helped me a lot with the gas pain the left shoulder and the next day under the left boob ... after that it didn't hurt at all ... I think the heat and the walking helped alot. What room are you in? I know the first night we were in the first room as you walk onto the unit and had great reception - then they moved us so Bob would have a couch to sleep on instead of a chair that made into a twin bed and the reception was very iffy. You could probably go into an empty room and see if the wi-fi is any better in one of them .. they weren't all full when I was there. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruthi 60 Posted June 29, 2009 I was in the room at the end by the nurses station and I couldnt get reception for my wireless to save myself. Has to be the location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malaika 50 Posted June 29, 2009 I was in the room at the end by the nurses station and I couldnt get reception for my wireless to save myself. Has to be the location. I think so - because when they moved us to the last room on the right by the double doors, our reception went to nearly nil. Wonder if I can "choose" our room when Bob goes for his surgery ...
