I am in eastern time so my surgery is in about 9 hrs! I am so nervous I am nauseous! Good luck to you!

Thanks for the well wishes. Really made me feel good. Surgery went well but unfortunately my nurse didn’t manage my pain, they had a mix up with my post-op room which delayed me getting there for 3 hours! I laid in horrific pain and not allowed to walk. When I finally got to my room and asked to walk, the CNA said she needed my vitals....ok I get it... so after vitals I asked again if I can walk and she states, “after we shift change!?” I literally had no words I got up and slowly took everything off and walked down the hall sobbing pulling my IV pole. My husband found me in the hall and was upset that I had arrived 20 min ago and even though he was told that he’d get to see me as soon as I arrived, no one went to get him. After I laid back down my pain got so bad I asked for pain meds. My nurse took a hour to get it which by that time I was nearly screaming in pain and she came to tell me that I was alarming my neighbors!!! I politely said through my tears, “this is very humiliating for me, do you think I can help yelling in pain? Why is no one helping me?” I don’t mean to scare anyone but this was my experience. I felt it wasn’t worth it and was upset. When I got a new nurse last night he was very attentive and kept my pain well managed. I’m feeling much better this morning.

That sounds horrible!

I'm so sorry to hear you had a bad experience, I hope mine isn't anything like that!

Glad the new nurse did a much better job and the pain gets better asap.

Wow. That is so unacceptable! Glad you’re feeling better now.
