Thumbs down oh no

OMG Cindy!!!

Demand (nicely) the op report after 6 weeks. Sometimes these go to medical transcribers and they have to work it in the order they come in. I'm so so sorry that they didn't address your medication concerns, and only spending 1 min with you pre-op?? Insanity.

In my situation, with the 3rd and 4th surgeries, I was given the same meds as I took at home... but with additional meds on top of that and in larger and more frequent doses. We also get a pow-wow with the entire op team - surgeon and all... before they knock me out. I get to address all my concerns, they review the whole procedure in front of me. It's a very comforting feeling. You must have been scared witless!!!

Hate gas bubbles... had them with many other surgeries, but not that I can recall with any done in Denver. I'm glad that it's gone for you now and it sounds like you are on the mend!

Keep us posted dear, but don't spend too much time at the computer.

Anne
