I had servere nauesa an vomitting and felt like a elephant sittting on my chest. I had trouble getting my fluids in but by the 4 Day it got easier. but today I can get all my required fluids in and then some alittle concerned i dont want to stretch out my sleeve. Most of the staff was great at the hospital. Dr. Garcia and his team was very friendly. Melissa the onsite cooridator was great, answered all my questions. I felt safe at the hospital with my personal belongings being out. The night before discharge a dr from Dr. Garcia team came and answered all my questions and was very nice an hot that was a plus.
