Home! And sooo glad to be...

I tried to post this early this morning, but evidently the site was down.  I finally got discharged late yesterday afternoon.  Got home around 6:30, and boy was I glad!  As soon as I got home, was able to have some Unjury, and sit in my La-Z-Boy I was reborn!   I didn't have a great experience at Bayview.  I'll not rag on them here on the forum, cuz I know that many have had wonderful care there.  However, if you're interested I'll put the details on my profile later.  Suffice it to say that there's no place like home.  I'm feeling surprisingly good today.  I just have to remember to keep getting those teeny tiny meals every hour and remember to drink my water.   Thank you all for your love and support.  It was so nice to come back and see all those well-wishes hanging out there for me!  You're the best!!! XOXO, Elaine (LaineyB)

So glad to see you back!!  I've been praying for you since Thursday.  Sorry things didn't go well at the hospital.  Have you told Dr. S.?  You have me worried there....

I'll definately tell him as soon as I get to see him.  The residents that visited me in the hospital said that he was out of town, so I haven't seen him since before I went into the OR.  I plan to give him a full report at my post op visit.

Hey Lainey! Welcome home.   Best wishes for a very speedy recovery! Hugs, Mo

Lainey, if you're up to it, please PM me with the details. I need to know what I"m in for! I"m so glad you're home now (as I know you are).  Keep us updated with your progress, HUGS< nancy

Hi Lainey, Glad to see you are home and your surgery evidently went well. Sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience at the hospital. Make sure you tell Dr. S and Pat Jordan. All that aside, how are you feeling? I remember when I first got home, I slept in my recliner chair for close to a month. They are great for recovery! Take care and take it slow.. . . . . you are on your way!! Let us know if we can help in any way! ~~ Trish

Elaine, Welcome home sweetie!  I am sorry things didn't go so well at the hospital trust me I had my share of unpleasant experience. Everyone was great except this certain night nurse till this day if I see her I might just ring her neck!  lol Glad you are home and doing great. We are here for you if you need anything.  Remeber to walk, walk walk and sip sip sip!! Take care

Lainey so glad surgery went well and you are home. I have been thinking about you since your surgery got rescheduled. If you feel up to it and PM Nancy could you also copy me on that PM about what happened. I am around 3 weeks away and would like to know as well. Hugs. Jo

Elaine, sorry about the negative experience at the hospital.  Glad to hear that your surgery was uneventful and went smoothly.  Here's to a quick recovery! TraciL

Glad you are home. I think all hospitals have their issues. GBMC was great except for the night nurses. Otherwise they were very responsive and caring. Welcome to the Losing Side!!!
