Back Across The Border

I left Almater Hospital this morning around 7:15 a.m.

First of all I should complement the hospital and the staff and a huge Thank You to Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos to a job well done! Blanka and Yolanda, you girls were so ultra Awesome!! You made the stay comfortable and less stressfull.

Saturday before surgery scheduled on Monday, I came in for routine blood work, the lab was not moving as quickly as Yolanda thought they should, so she moved me into a private room had a lab man come to me, ran interference to the x-ray dept. and got my EKG done....and shopping in Mexico I went.

I went in with little or no worries, Dr. Aceves Office made things so clear and easy before arriving, took all of the guess work out of the process.

First day was feeling great out of surgery, well because I had a spinal morophine pack, made it so no pain thru the next day...which gave good night sleep too.

Second day they kept up on the pain with pain meds. Still walking around about once every other hour. Trying to drink, drink, drink is more difficult than what you would think. If you drink to much to fast, you'll feel the urge to purge. I could drink maybe 2-3 sips at a time, many times I would still feel the dry heaves, but as soon as I felt nautious...the nurses would get medication and take it away....immediately...was good in a few moments.

Wednesday, I was better but still had some nausea, untill they took the drain out. Once my drain came out, I showered and was not nausious again. was great, we even ventured up to see the 2nd and 3rd floor, around to see if there were any babies to look upon....was feeling mucho better. No sleeping pill for me that night, but I did have a pain pill.

Thursday, anticipating "going home" was up at 4:15a.m. however, I got up to take a shower and yikes no HOT water...well, I used to live in a hunter's/wood cutting camp...I've had a cold shower or two...so I soaped up and showered in cold water....

I am now home to my sister's house in El Centro where I will bask for a few days before traveling home to meet my husband at the airport in Redmond, OR.

I;ll post more when I can, but all in all I WOULD do it all over tomorrow....
