Procrastination

[KatInFL 216]

got me.

Actually, it was less procrastination and more hoping I'd get an awesome deal on plane tickets. Anyhow, when I looked at plane tickets today they had doubled in price. Ack!!

I called my surgeon's office right away and we decided it was best to just push surgery out for a week. I also found out that I'll be having surgery at Florence Hospital rather than Mi Doctor. I haven't read too much yet, so not sure if that's a good thing or just a neutral thing.

So...I'll be headed out on 3/28 with surgery on 3/29 with Dr. Illan. It actually works out better this way, as my best friend will be able to come stay with my son while I'm gone.

Things happen for a reason. We all procrastinate at one point. Good Luck!

I was with Dr. Kelly at florence Oasis. I don't know much about Mi Doctor but I liked my stay at Oasis. The building is dated but they are updating it, the lobby and operating theater I was in had been worked on. The patient rooms i was in were just starting to get attention. The nurses were great, most had at least a little English and those that did not were not shy about getting help to translate when it was important. If I can share anything else just ask!

Well... again... florence Oasis Hospital is dated, but comfortable. There is renovation of the building happening. I'd been warned to expect to see a building that looked like an office (and it does) and that the inside would feel out of the 80's or 90's. The lobby and many areas of at least the first floor (where I was the whole time) are being updated though to a more modern aesthetic. The patient area where I was had just started to get attention. The rooms I saw and was in are very simple, much less machinery than you find here in the US but exactly what you need and when. It's VERY clean and even the beds were comfortable which surprised me for a hospital.

I guess that's about all I can say... I start to repeat myself.

There's a gal on YouTube, Veronica Walters, who did MANY videos while she was there and after, some of the ones from right after surgery show the room. There are others on YouTube that also took shots of the building... Here's a link to Veronica: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFziJeMREdBvrANcoTAVduA/videos?view=0&flow=grid And then when you do the search "mrsknoel27" has outside the building video. Of course, these are specific to my surgeon, but the building and rooms were your question and these show that.

Hope that helps!

Dr. Illian (Jail) is Dr. Kelly's assistant surgeon So' date=' yes you will be at the hospital florence (Oasis) and most likely Dr. Kelly will stand in with Dr. Jail.[/quote']

Really? Why do you keep following me to repeat this? Who cares? Dr Illan is a great dr either way.. Truth is if I wanted dr Kelly I Would have picked him.. However even before I decided dr Illan Dr Kelly was NEVER one I was considering.. I was going with either Garcia or Dr. jaime Ponce de leon. This is getting out of hand. I get you work for him but gosh come on.. I'm sure these people do research and pick their dr they want.. Not by who may or may not be assisting.

Dr. Illan was awesome. I was the next surgery after GAmom. We have had the best time and Dr. Illan has the best bedside manner UNLIKE some other doctor that was there!!!
