I must have had 3 different dr's and 4 nurses come in and out, preparing me for the surgery. World Class place and I highly recommend it, if you need to see a specialist  |
Hi Rich,
Wishing you well for your surgery on Friday. I just had my first rib removed and a scalenectomy on my left side at Mass General Hospital in Boston on Feb. 28. Eight days into recovery, the biggest challenge is pain management, as I'm on narcotics every four hours but trying to only take them when necessary. I have been *so* impressed with my surgeon and the teams at MGH...it makes the thought of going back for my right side surgery much more bearable.
Take care and all the best,
Laura
