I don't think the hospital has blow dryers but the Marriott does. When are you leaving?

In my experience, you probably won't care what you look like. I've had quite a bit of pain and I'm walking the halls with no bra on because at the moment, I just don't care. Ponytail instead?

Oh and for me, it's doesnt feel great to lift your hands up that high.

Yea I didn't care at all. Was to busy trying to get through my first few nights. Now once I returned to normal say day two after surgery I started caring.

Ok' date=' so I am in my room at Mi Doctor Hospital waiting my turn for surgery... so far everyone has been wonderful and service has been excellent.

I had blood work, iv in, Dr.Luna came by to talk and now just playing the waiting game..[/quote']

Curious to see how you're doing! Keep up updated!!

I was discharged this afternoon from Mi Doctor. Had my surgery on Friday. It was a great experience and I have no complaints on the care I received. Now resting at Marriott.

That is great you are recovering well I will be leaving the Marriott Hotel tomorrow have a safe journey

What about the plug in for electrical. Do we need to bring converters?

 

I didn't need converter. They had the same outlets we use in States.

Ok, so my expirience so far was a nice one. In recovery I gave Dr.Luna a little laugh as I was still "tripping" lol and first thing I heard when I woke up was 2chainz bad b lol , once the anesthesia startded wearing off I was in a lot of pain (gas pain) , a whole lot of nausea. But the nurses have been great in giving me meds like clock work.

Today I feel a lot better, did the leak test earlier today which was nasty, then a few hours later the second leak test with the blue die which was nasty also, but upside to that is now I get to have ice and gatorade.

Surprisingly the drain does not bother me, but the gas is horrible so I have started to use my gas x strips today and they have helped a bit. I also got to bathe, and now jsut wait til tomorrow for discharge to the hotel.

I think thats about it, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. :)
