At OCC - lots of waiting



Recommended Posts

Wow I thought my wait was long... Doesn't beat SoCal's... I was there bright and early and didn't get taken back until 2:30 or so. Then they took a very long time to do the actual surgery... I was ok, felt bad for my husband who has Hospital-phobia and my 15 year old daughter who just thought she wanted to come sit with me for the surgery. :)

And I DID ask them if they took breaks and were able to get lunch etc. Last thing I wanted was for someone to rush my surgery because they were tired/hungry. :)

Went into surgery I think around 9 and I wasn't the last one! Everything went well. Had some nasea but they took are of that quickly. Was pulled up around 1:30 am to get up and walk. A bit wobbly but I'm sure being tired contributed.

Sore getting in and out of bed of course. Up again on my own around 5 am to use the bathroom. Darn iIV fluids! Up again at 7 and they were beginning to get folks moving again. M drain tube leaked a bit all over my gown and some on the bed but they got that tresolved. I did have quite a bit of drainage but according to doc the color is good.

They are keeping the woman who had some respiratory issues and turned out she had a heart condition too. Complications were not from the doctors and she seemed to be doing better this morning.

I'm back at the Marriott now. One weird side effect for me is my eyesight is shot. Distance which is always ok s good, but near is very blurry so hard to read the forums. Doc said that sometimes happens. I'll be able to post more when I an see better!

Thanks for all the well wishes, they are greatly appreciated.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
