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.

Oh no I am so sorry that you went through that, that is horrible! I’m praying that you are feeling a little better now and that your pain is being managed now. (((Hugs))) I’m sorry for your really bad experience. You are a very strong woman and I am sure everything is going to get better from here. [emoji177]


Have a great day!

Omg and this is where ? ... report their asses! That is a very bad experience for such a big surgery. I’m sorry you had to go through stuff like that, it happen with one of my surgery ( c section) but it was a particular nurse [emoji35].

Yes, they gave me a survey that I filled out. And I let my current nurse know that it wasn’t a reflection of her care just in case because the one I have now and the one before we’re way better

Thank you! I'm having issues getting my fluids in. Every sip no matter how small causes massive amounts of belching. It's insane. How have you been doing?

My fluids are ok but I’m getting constant waves of excruciating pain. I thought it was gas but it hurts for only a few seconds then goes. Mostly after I drink something. Starting to worry a little.

I had a nurse like that, back in January of 2016 I had perforated my bowel and had sepsis in my belly, that woman acted like it was her Meds that she was loosing by giving them to me. I was to have a shot every hour and when she was on shift I was lucky I got one every 3 hours. It was very painful.

Good luck, hope it goes well
