Richler thts how I was the day I arrived. And tonight. I'm still exhausted but I'm a side sleeper and being forced to sleep on my back is proving difficult for me. "/ I'm praying for your sirgery tomorrow.

I think dr. Garcia and his team are above mi doctor, honestly.

Rohler, I leave at 6am in the morning and I haven't been able to sleep at all today and I'm plum exhausted. Im gonna have to pass on the pow wow but I wish we could have met. I pray you have a successful surgery and your recovery is speedy and not too painful. Muah

Now see. I was told to have a light Breakfast and nothin else to eat because of he PRE op testing being done the day I arrive but instead, I was taken straight to the mariott. I was like ain't that something? Lol I coulda ate. I was hungry too. Not anymore! I think that might be because dr. Garcia doesn't work Fridays??

Aha ha that reminded me, I did the same. She saw my blue peeking out and said "you have underwear on?" Me "yeah?" (All meek) She said "nooooo!" 0.0

But TJ is so dangerous!! O.o *giggle*

This thread has me Rollin! (As I sit here sippin Gatorade at the mariott 3 days post with dr. Garcia) I appreciate the op's view. Mine, like I said wasn't exactly the same, but everyone deserves to hear negatives. I also want to say that I think I know who the op is, but anyway..... About being naked- yep, we were. They ungown you after you pass out, and cover your chest. I don't know about legs. I asked the dr. This after reading this thread and it was confirmed. However. I don't give 2 craps either. And my HISBAND doesn't see me naked so that says something I was asleep and I was gowned when I woke up. Fine with me. I find it funny (yet off topic) that Laura ven strikes a pose in the middle of her brawl. Laura, you're a rock star. Palekania- me too w the blood. None of my sleeve sisters had that, but I sure did, directly after in the recovery room. And I'm white.

I wonder if ketorolaco is the equivelant of Vicodin.

I have super schnozz now. Lol Maalox tastes like what cleaner probably tastes like and almost everyone has hate breath. It's just amusing.

I leave tomorrow. I'm in room 615, gimme a ring when you get here.

Yay!!

I'm 2 days out and I think mybe detoxing from drugs etc but i just woke up I'm a sweat from what felt like the worlds longest nightmare. I was in a hotel, but not the one I'm actually in. My kids were here and I kept having to save them from Dieing. (Quick sand was sucking up my son and I flew over him and pulled him out). Then I went home In the dream but it also wasn't my house. Lol. My husband had bought mice and rats and ferrets and I was sweeping all of the animals off tables really hard w my forearm and flinging them against the wall. Lol I think the dreams were freaking me out because also in a part of this crazy nightmare my heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest and I kept going from floor to floor to find someone who would call the hospital but they all looked like something out of a Steven long movie and laughed at me so I had to find my way to the hospital. On my way I found a letter from my surgeon that said "I'm sorry, yes, the anticoagulant can cause pounding heart" Then I woke up thank god. What the??! I'm not going back to sleep for a while now. And it's 12:40 am. Sigh. "/

Hahaha I was told the honking was angry drivers wanting across the border. I asked of the honking helps. Thy said no. Laura I had to make myself not LOL right then. You should know better. Ow! You're a hoot!

There's no button. I'm also on my iPod and my thumbs are going just as fast as they can. Lol. I hate typing out Long posts Basically minor inconveniences mentioned above , ready for a change was super helpful the whole time and still are. Meli is the coordinator at the Marriott. Rosie is the coordinator at mi doctor. Now that I'm back at the hotel feeling better and have been able to think on things, I'd have to change My rating to a 4 out if 5. Yeah. I do wish that mi dr. Was in a nicer part of town with far less honking. ( I e not right by the border. Noise noise noise) Now can we all be friends again? Any questions, ask away and I'll answer publicly. Since I don't feel like I got backed over by a truck now.

I'll be happy to see u Bree. Afa PMing, sheesh. What a ruckus. It's nothing honestly. I explained above. I'm much too tired to write up a thorough review so I just quickly sent a brief message. Scsleever did a very good job of describing things I mentioned that didn't write out on the thread. Dont over think things.

Bree, I don't know what you mean? I'm saying that I may see you at the hospital today. Aren't you coming in? You'll be on my floor. They could take me back to the mariott before you get here though. You must have thought I was crazy. I wish the best for you. <3

Dang, didnt mean to upset people or break rules. My mind is also still quite a fog from lack of sleep and well body trauma? Nothing bad, I'll post later about it when I'm home and can write up a thorough review. Or that's the plan at least. Scsleever is correct. She's been out a whole and can think up a good clearly thought out answer. Basically I told them if give my experience a 3.5 and not to worry. And that as I get settled into the ways they do things here, the more I feel comfortable and confident in my decision. Paraphrased

Done

I'll pm

Sip sip BURRRP. sip sip BURRP. Hehe Getting to know my new little friend. He's got quirks. I can't wait to get this drain out. I wonder of its because I have such a short torso that this thing is painful for me. Who knows. Should get it out tomorrow. Looking at what comes out of it makes me wonder where all that stuff goes on patients who don't have drains.

I have a drain, so I'm pretty sure that's where the juices would go. Ew, juices. Yes, they check both sides for reasons mentioned above. I just asked before, if he could take a pic. I have some of it being cut and my sleeve too. Those will have to wait. And Laura, shame on you, blasting mx surgeries!!

Lol dr Garcia laughed when I said it was so big, his reply was "it's just little, but we blow it up with gas to check for leaks. " I wanted to know " is that what it looked like when I eat too much?" To which he said "probably, haha"
