sunshyneqtie 73 Posted November 6, 2012 I made it out of surgery OK. Everyone is really nice here. We waited for two hours at the airport for our ride, so be mentally prepared just in case. No leak on my first leak test yeah! Going to get some ice here in a minute. A lady here said she had money stolen when she went for her leak test, so be careful with your stuff. She seems happy now though, so maybe the hospital worked something out or maybe she found it. I'm making my friend take my backpack every time she leaves. It has all our electronics and iIDs and passports. I had a lot of pain in my shoulder yesterday, but its not so bad today. Best of luck to you. See you Thursday.

He hugged me and my best friend who also had surgery with me on the 5th when he saw us walking on the hallway. I would never want to go anywhere else. I too had lots of shoulder n gas pain but other than that I am fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunshyneqtie 73 Posted November 7, 2012 I'm in room 305. I have ventured up to the 4th floor twice to see Barbara in room 401. My friend keeps going up to make her walk. Which floor are you on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshyneqtie 73 Posted November 7, 2012 They said we would be going to the hotel early in the morning, but they didn't say if that was US early or Mexican early. They are very laid back here, so sometimes when they say 8 they really mean 11 or 12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
