I have a date! (and a couple questions)

I had my surgery on Sept. 26th at Centennial.  I had a friend who stayed with me the entire time I was there and it was good to have her there.  I'm sure the nurses would have done anything I asked, but it was just easier having someone there that was only looking out for me.  The nurses seemed pretty rushed and busy.  When I came home I did not have help at all.  I stayed alone from the beginning and it was fine.  I had to have her stop by a couple of times a day to help with the drains and dressings, but I don't think Dr. Houston uses all those same things that Dr. Dyer does.  You will be fine.  Take it easy and relax. 

Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences, as always I have found them very helpful in my planning. You're such a nice group of folks, thanks again.

Hip Hip Hooray for Angela!  Way to go!  While you are at the hospital, tell them to get ready for me!  Keep us updated and I'll get started on your Losers Bench!
