Okay. I made it safely sitting here waiting to be taken back to the room and get hooked up. Or is scheduled for 715. Its 442am now been here since 415.

The nurse or rep whoever she is ; is kinda rude. I do understand that it is early in the morning and people are sleepy but that is not a excuse for anyone to be rude. If she didn't want to do the paperwork and sign us in she should have had someone else do it. Smh at rude people.

Good luck to everyone having surgery this week. Keep looking ahead. A better life awaits us all! :)

Surgery went well! I'm in a room thinking about a nap.

And I needed to stay an extra day because of that time frame with no meds.

That is horrible did the manager Sonya ever come by and talk to you? I would talk to Dr Tanner again during your post op exam I know he is trying to get that floor back in shape.

Bumped down to clear liquids only... as of 1:00pm. Not hungry at all today. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am and it is out of town. So Packing up my stuff and hubby's driving us to a hotel to spend the night. Don't wanna make him get up at 3:00am for all that driving. I probably wont be able to sleep tonight anyway. Im to excited. Oh and thanks for all those thoughts and prayers my cold seems to have cleared up. No meds in 24 hours now. Nose not stuffy anymore.

Yeah she came and switched me nurses and everything. Dr tanner is defiantly on it. Before I could even finish telling him what was going on he was pushing my call button yelling at the nurse who answered.

That's good he had to do the same thing when he found out the nurses were not emptying my JP drain unless I asked them too the manager never came to my room which I thought was bad.
