My doctor was Garcia. I'm doing all right, but I developed thrush from the antibiotics, I'm still very swollen (surgery was Tuesday and I'm holding about 16lbs of water), and a little soreness and diarrhea. Other than that, I'm perfect lol.

The hospital is florence Oasis and hotel is Marriott. The Marriott was nice, the hospital was a little third-world. Lobby and exterior were nice, but patient rooms were pretty bare.

The stuffed tummy was a nice touch. :)

The bathroom pic is disgusting. Kinda scary looking at that pic. How clean was the hospital? Did you use that bathroom??

Yes, I used the bathroom. Showered there everyday. The hospital is not like a US hospital, but it was adequate and the staff, though most seemed very young (I wondered if some were old enough to drive lol -- could be I am just getting old!), seemed to genuinely care about their patients.
