I'll spare you all of the details but they were going to send me home after
the surgery and we had to beg them not to. I was very ill and couldn't even stand up! Oddly enough I am boiling hot, but no fever. I would think since I am not on the thyroid med, I would be cold. And wearing the jammies with the fuzzy top was a bad move. I have fuzz stuck to the wound. But I can shower with plain water later. I'm going to finish eating these ice chips then go to bed with an ice pack. Fun times! Hard to talk and eat but I'll make it. |

Thanks! I stopped taking the pain meds. In the hospital I complained of all sorts of symptoms and they acted like I was nuts. Like... Stop scratching! You're not breathing. Breath! And also the overheating. Got home and looked up the med. All side effects. I feel MUCH better without it. The pain is lessening every hour. It's mainly just a problem when I need to move around or cough because there is bruising. Thankfully, one little freezer has nothing but ice and ice packs in it. |

My voice is cutting in and out and at the best, is still very weak. So speaking is out. The frustrating thing is that at the hospital if I pointed to my cup and said, "ice", they just did not get it. Always replied, "What? What do you want?" It was like in school where you had to type out the whole sentence and not just give the answer. |

No more "admitted the night before surgery and then stay there days after", not anymore. Much more money to be made by kicking YOU out ASAP and get the next poor sot in there whose FOR PROFIT INSURANCE will PAY! John Kuthe... |

They let me stay 11 days, and I was wanting to go home pretty badly by then. And by the 10th day when they finally let me eat the food tasted awfully good even for hospital food. By then, for some reason, the one thing I really craved was a fresh baked loaf of bread. |

And I'll bet your doctors had a very good medical reason for keeping you inpatient that long! I'm an RN, I know how that stuff works! John Kuthe... |

I don't know about Mark Storkamp, but when my husband was last hospitalized, it was paid for by his employer, which is self-insured. His previous stay was paid for by my health insurance, which is a nonprofit. As in Mark's case, he was pretty eager to get home by the time he was released, even though it was less than a week each time. Cindy Hamilton |

Hospitals and other medical/surgical places are the most expensive real estate out there! No more "admitted the night before surgery and then stay there days after", not anymore. Much more money to be made by kicking YOU out ASAP and get the next poor sot in there whose FOR PROFIT INSURANCE will PAY! John Kuthe... At 3,000.00 a night on average they have every incentive to keep you there and run more tests. People really do heal better at home. I know a few nurses and they tell me that is why they send you home as soon as they think you are stable and can take care of yourself. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

You're welcome, also water and water and, yeah I know, the pee breaks make sleep transitory, but flushing the system is always beneficial, if your Docs concur, of course. |

There was no way I could have come home that first night. I was so very sick and disoriented. |

Most surgical procedures these days are much less invasive than they used to be so there is less need for post-operative care and hospitalization. A lot of it is done laparoscopy and as day surgery. When my father had his gall bladder removed in the early 1960s he had an incision that was more than a foot long and had a drain tube and was in the hospital for two weeks. We were not allowed to see him for the first week. When my wife had her gall bladder removed a few years ago she was there for 7 am and I picked her up and brought her home at 1:30. I was not quite that lucky. My gall stone was huge and the gall bladder in bad shape and I was kept in for three days post-op. Even heart surgery, as invasive as it is, usually sees patients realized after just a few days. Who even wants to be in a hospital for any amount of time? Those places are full of sick people and their germs. One of the reasons I waited so long to go to the hospital with my gall bladder problem was that I was feeling pretty sick. I didn't want to to the the ER in tat condition and to be exposed to all those sick people. There are a number of super bugs that linger in hospitals. I went through a C-dificile scare after my gall bladder surgery. |

Not only that, within 30 minutes of the birth, the nurse asked her what she would like to eat and suggested a steak! After that son's 1st was born, my d-i-l and baby were discharged about 3 hours later and when I phoned (from the UK) they were on their way home and my son was getting her a hamburger at a drive-through!

They had steak in the hospital? Ha! Not here. They had nothing I'd want to eat except for the applesauce. I was very happy to have a hummus cup and water biscuits with me. |

He's got a bunch of pins in his foot, which he seems to be somewhat proud of. The Swedish docs did a pretty good job. When he returned to the states, he wanted to square all his affairs so he contacted the hospital. His bill for his medical care was approximately 50 bucks. In the US, that won't get you a band-aid. |
