Elode 8,093 Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks for all the sweet words and encouragement! I will be going home in a few hours. I must say I don't think it could have went any smoother than it did. I was blessed with an AMAZING staff! Everyone of them was exceptional. So guess who's getting a huge box of cupcakes!!!! Thanks for all the prayer and thoughts! I am just taking it day by day and keeping my stress level to a minimum. I have no regrets. I am staying in my learning phase until me and Miss sleeve become one lol! Blessing to you all!

Elode 8,093 Posted November 5, 2014 @@time for june I felt like I had done soooo much research and read so many post there really wasn't anything that caught me off guard. I would just say try to remain calm and go with the process. I worried myself sick about gas and shoulder pain and I ended up not having either. I made a post earlier about my glade plug in for my hospital room, I know it sounds really simple but just having my room smell of apple cinnamon was more like home to me.I also found some soothing sounds/music On my IPad and I played it most of the time. All the staff made remarks on how lovely my room felt. Just try to make your self comfortable. Walk, use a binder, and most of all be kind to your staff And they will be kind to you.

After a hip replacement I developed a theory that after major surgery they send in the cutest nurse to remove your catheter. Does she know about "shrinkage"?!!

After a hip replacement I developed a theory that after major surgery they send in the cutest nurse to remove your catheter. Does she know about "shrinkage"?!! It's true! Every anesthesiologist I've ever had was drop dead gorgeous and had seen me looking my absolute worst. I think it's a rule that in order to be an anesthesiologist you HAVE TO be good looking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
