Initial Consultation Questions

I don't think I have that either! Waaaaah.

Well that blows. I'll share mine with you. Lol

The hospital I'll be going to only has private rooms, so that's a given. I'm so glad to not share.

The pain pump thingy sounds cool. There is a more technical tem for it, I'm sure. I've had them on patients before. It was like a little ball and tubes that sent the med to the source. It worked really well for the orthopedic patients I've cared for. I'll only be in the hospital for one night, and liquid pain med for me.

You're right, it has a specific name but I can't remember what it's called. I'm in there for 2 nights and have a 3 hr ride home so I'm hoping they remove it last. Lol

Isn't it a pump of some sort? (I feel it has pump in the name but I'm probably way off lol)

Im hoping the floor will be slow when I have surgery so i can be alone. But I doubt it, as he added me on to his day so I could have surgery over my spring break.

OK, so it was driving me nuts not remembering the name. On-Q post op pain management system is what I'm thinking of. It worked really well for the patients that had it.

I think so. When she said I'd have it I was like wtf is that. Lol. And then she described what it does and said "you'll like it. I promise". Lol

Maybe your roomie, if you have one, is interesting. Like an old woman that used to be a flapper and knew lots of gangsters and tells you awesome stories. Hey, it could happen...

Yes, if it's the On-Q system, you will love it!

I love your imagination about the roomy. Lol. A person can dream!

[SuperFab 689]

On-Q pain pump. That's what she called it. Now I'm gonna have to google it.

Wow, were we typing at the same time or what?!?!

[triplenmomma 21]

Yes. You should look it up. Then you'll be glad to have it. Well she send you home with it? I'm a little jealous that you get that.

She said it's removed right before I go home. I'm feeling so much better about it Bc she said there is one really deep muscle stitch that is painful and so she will give me an On-Q pump to ease that pain.

[SuperFab 689]

Looked it up and it looks like it's pretty efficient and the delivery catheter is really small in diameter so I'm a happy camper.
