I returned home today from MBC. And I can't tell you how relieved I am to be out of that dump! My first night post op my companion was trying to figure out a way to have an ambulance come take me back San Diego. The only pain medication they offer are Toradol and ultram which are never used without stronger narcotics here in the states after major surgery. I also wasn't able to urinate after surgery and got up to the toilet probably 15 times and begged the nurses to catheterize me and after arguing for an hour, a nurse from the OR cathed me for almost 1500cc! Then acted like they had never seen urinary retention after surgery! I almost collapsed on the floor and was told to "stop complaining". No one had name bands. The nurse blew their gloves open before putting them on also! Since I'm finally back to the safety on my home I'm going to try to sleep a bit but feel fed better
