being alone at the hospital

I actually prefer to be alone when i am at the hospital. I only ask hub to see me to the OR, then come pick me up, whenever that is.

For my WLS, I had my Ipod and the phone and the TV. I was also concentrating on healing.

4 years before, I had to be sent to a university hospital via ambulance, about 1.5 hours out. Again, hub and kids were available via telephone, and he came to take me home when I was released.  Because it was an emergency, I had nothing but my purse and the room's TV.

DH also prefers to be alone in the hospital. We actually talk more on the telephone than "live".

Renee, I can't actually remember what state my husband was in when I had surgery.  I got a ride home and took care of myself.  I was actually grateful for the quiet.  He is retired military and I am very used to being alone, which may account for how I have gone thru 4 major surgeries all alone. 

You can do it!
