How long should I stick around?
When I went I had to be there on a Monday surgery was on Wed.I was out of the hospital friday around 1 or 2.. I stayed in town until Sunday morning.. However..I was up walking a couple hours after surgery and made myself walk every couple hours after (it really help with the gas).. I was determined to get my body up and going..I sipped water and walk walk walk.. by Friday I was pretty much strolling the halls, taking showers sitting out of the bed.. (I hate hospital beds) I figured if I was awake it wouldn't be laying in the bed..The hotel was miserable for me..my mom took me down the road I actually shopped at bed bath and beyond.. One thing I would have is pillows I was so uncomfortable in that hotel!! I also don't have a real great hospital around here either I live like 6 or 7 hours away.. Dr. Simper said I would be fine to go..I didn't have a 2 week appointment I just called in to them and we discussed everything.. Keep in mind if you don't already know..hotels will give you a rate for medical stuff I just had to get a form from the hospital.
I wanted to add that Dr. Simper felt comfortable with me going home because I was drinking and eating (cottage cheese , yo-gurt, ect) and also going to the bathroom 1 and 2 and drinking alot of water...He did mention had I not been doing those things ok by then I would have had to stay in town longer. :)
