Hi J-M,
Oh how I remember those days when I had the surgery last July! I was in the
hospital for 1 1/2 days after my surgery. I was freezing and in some real
pain after 5 hours of surgery. I too had to wait almost 3 hours to get in
the operation room, but no one came by my bed to say a thing. I didn't know
what was going on and I thought I was forgotten. My poor husband was left in
the waiting room for hours and then finally after a long day of waiting he
was allowed in the recovery room with me after I woke up. I had been in so
much pain and nausea for almost a week. It does get better, it really does.
I'm just so glad that they have become more "friendly" while your wife had to
wait that length of time. You're right, the prep was one hell of a long
time. I remember I was so thirsty. I'm so glad that the surgery is over,
now I pray for a quick recovery and no more pain.........
Please tell Deborah that we are all with her and send her our love.
Hugs and Love,
