Banner Gateway Hospital...Gilbert

I jad my surgery there on Moday and was released late Thursday afternoon. The nurses and CNAs were just the best!! I felt so very well cared for and just wanted to sing their praises. All of the staff I dealt with from nurses to pulminary specialists, food delivery person, and even custodian...were all wonderful, So cheerful and helpful. if you have your surgery there feel confident that these people will take very good care of you!

And Dr. Podkameni...wonderful! He chedk in on my frequently, which I really appreciated.

I am home now, tired and sore but doing well.

WELCOME TO THE LOOSER BENCH!
Glad you had a positive experience.  It make it much nicer.

Thanks!! Looking at my typos I see I should wait a bit after I take my pain meds before trying to type like an intellegent person! LOL

Typing like an intelligent person is highly over rated!  I've been attempting it for years and have decided that like you, my recent drug induced notes are just fine!  People read through the oopsies:)

So glad you're recovering Miss Stacy!  I'm a whimp so I'll take my stock of pain meds as long as I think they're needed to keep the owie's at bay!  LOL! 

My ONLY motivation for getting weaned is so I can drive again and get out a bit!  But...since I can't walk very far I guess it's all balanced with the healing time thing.

Here's to a great week of healing so we can both hit our support groups for June!!!!  (See you at the Super Sat Seminar on the 5th?)

Healing hugs your way,

Those pain meds make me feel like I am drunk! LOL

I won't be able to come on the 5th because I am teaching the night session of summer school down here in Casa Grande. It is only a month so I hope to join in on the support groups in July.

Take care!!
Stacy

Congradulations Stacy on your Surgery. I was so glad to hear about your surgery at Gateway that is where I"m having mine June 17th. I start the protein drinks tomorrow...not looking forward to that but that's what has to be done. How did you get through it. My husband had his done about 3 months ago and is doing fantastic. He has had none of the complications talked about in some of the posts I read on the internet. I hope I'm as lucky. Best wishes
