Did anyone go to surgery alone.
I have had surgery alone...your boyfriend will pick you up right?According to the facility the stay is generally 36 hours.You can do this...Have your phone ,mobile devices so you can talk to someone.My parents work and they are the only ones that are privy to my surgery.I will be dropped off in the morning for surgery and the next evening they will pick me up when I am to be released.In the meantime doctors and staff will be poking and prodding....
