I made it through my minor surgical procedure today! |
|
I am in a bit of pain, but really do not care (I have pain meds).

I love the California Healthcare laws....NOT
I had to repeat to everyone who came in to the pre-op room, in my own words, what the doctor was going to do to me...

Probably would have gotten into a bit of trouble for that!

13. That depends. I might have said, "I'm getting a facelift, |
|
a jawlift, a breast augumentation and a new car!" just to see what happened next!

drunk and senseless post or two... really, I think that was Saturday a.m. You think a facelift might enhance one's mood?

WONDERFUL thing. I used to work for large insurance companies in New England -- helping to settle medical malpractice claims. You know, the ones where the doctor took off the wrong foot? Or cut out the wrong kidney?
Keep saying your name and what they're supposed to be doing as long as you can before they give you the final sedation. It helps with medical errors, which are rampant in hospitals.
Just sayin'... Remember me? A large HMO got tangled on itself a year or so ago and prescribed more than twice as much thyroid medicine (175 mcg. instead of 075 mcg. to me for over a year and nobody noticed. Luckily, I didn't die...

But since hospitals are such petri dishes for resistant microbes, I am more comfortable resting at home.

He's truly the gourmet cook, between the two of us. Every year he does the turkey, gravy and stuffing. I'm in charge of everything else. :D
Yes, clean up is always a bitch. Good luck.
