Hello everyone!

I'm new to the board and I have my surgery scheduled for a week from today :laugh0:. I had a few questions about the hospital which I feel silly asking Monica about, so I was hoping you all could help me. Does the hospital have air conditioning? I've read about some people taking fans, which made me question this. Mexicali is an INFERNO this time of year so I need to be prepared! Also, is there like a cafeteria or something in hospital for my mom to eat from? And if so, were you told if the food decent? Where did you all have your "Last Meal" and was it any good? Was there a variety to choose from?

Thank you all for your time to read this, it's greatly appreciated!

I didn't end up in the hospital. The only time I was in the hospital was for my surgery with Dr. Aceves. He is a great surgeon and very thorough. To my knowledge he has never had any leaks. I doubt that you would have any problems; that said, I believe if you get back home and have problems and go to the ER then your insurance should cover any complications. I can't be 100% certain, but I am relatively sure.

VegasAngel,

Thanks for the input. I must have misinterpreted the spasms you have mentioned in other threads for a hospitalization. I'm sorry about that. I think that I am starting to feel a little better about it. This is going to be an adventure and a new begining to a healthier and more energetic me.

No not a hospitalization thank goodness, just a pain in the butt -- I'm finally learning to work around it -- or with it -- I'm sure you won't have any problems; however, I understand you have to consider worse-case scenario.
