Does anyone know if my husband can stay with me over night? My surgery is March 6

At mayo they have futons in the room for the spouses. Call the hospital and ask them what type of accommodations they have for spouses

Out of surgery and on the losers bench finally! Lots of pain for first few hours but it is getting better. On morphine pump for pain. BP is high they said prob due to the pain cause I don't normally have issues. Had to get med for that, hopefully it starts coming down. Other than that doing ok. Although I am hungry! At least that's what it feels like, maybe it's the gas?

Hi

Had surgery yesterday. As of now, the only discomfort I'm having is chest pain. Could be gas or catheter tube that was just removed.

I did walk a little last night, believe me it's not easy. I felt like someone had beaten me all over! lol

Slept like a baby due to morphine but as if today no more pain meds uuugh!

I am now waiting for UGI test.

Uuugh Dr. said I have to stay one more night. UGI went well but I had pain and nausea when I began my liquids, I've been walking but it doesn't seem to help. So another night it is.
