Dr Garcia & Mi Doctor Hospital

[mynewbegining2 31]

Hi, I arrived yesterday morning at 7:00 at Mi Doctor. Met ADNKEL30 and she was just walking around like nothing. I had to ask her if she had surgery? Yes she had the day before. All did all of my pre op testing. I meet with Dr. Garcia around noon. He told me about the procedure and answered all of my questions. I then meet the anethesiolgist (sp) He answer all of my questions and told me all what to expect, I was wheeled into the ER, and next thing I knew I was back in my room. I felt a little pain which was knocked out quickly with some pain meds. I went back to sleep and about midnight I was up walking. This morning, no pain,just soreness were the drain is at and my reflux is acting up. They gave me some anticids and I back to new. I think I have my drain test later this afternoon. MY battery is low. so I better sign off and charge it up,

Thank you all for your well wishes. This morning Saturday I left the hospital and I am now at the Marriott. The hotel is beautiful. The chicken broth is pretty tasty. Im feeling good for just having major surgery, The drain did not hurt when it was removed. That was a huge relief. I was just waiting to scream out and carry on. The coordinators give you a send off bag with gatorade,water,chap stick, glycerin swabs,antibiotics,spirometer and something for acid reflux and bandages. I really enjoyed having Dr, Garcia as my surgeon. For the 2 days I was there, he checked on me 3 or 4 times. And his Dr. assistant and internist were wonderful. The anathesologist (sp) was also great. I would use him again.

Thank you for the welcome !!! I like your saying" This is something I did for ME, and I am SO glad I did.

Doing the SAME thing over and over again and expecting

Different results is the definition of Insanity. I

FINALLY did something DIFFERENT and I did it for ME!
