Yahooo i am all done my surgery.. all in all it went well. Dr Hagen said that i had a twisted bowel that he straightned out.. so now everything is all good.. i am struggling with the wonderful gas pains.. and trouble getting in everything they want me too.. i am just not hungry....
My experience at HRRH.. well it was interesting.. all in all my nurses were great... EXCEPT in the recovery in they were cranky..... it was so hot in there i was soaked and said that i needed ice well they told me "you will have to wait we r busy" well excuse me....once i was back in my room all was well until the nightmare started with my roomate.. who was a old lady who spoke some kind of language that i didnt know.. who had been there a few days already..with a broken hip and leg.. well lets just say i didnt get any sleep as all she did was scream all hours of the day and night and fought with all the nurses... she was soooooooo rude i couldnt believe it.. i would walk the halls more often so i spent less time in that room..
So today is day 2 post op and other than the gas pain and the stiffness in my neck and back from the bed , i feel pretty good.. i am finding it hard to get in all the stuff they want so for now i am gonna stick with the protien shake and water i did have cream of wheat and yogurt and nothing makes me sick or comes back up... as of now.....

Congrats!! Glad to hear surgery went well. The nurses at HRRH are hit and miss. But I think it's like that in every hospital.

Good luck with the rest of the recovery.

Glad to see you back and posting after surgery.  **Note to self - don't forget a set of ear plugs in hospital bag.

The great thing about Ottawa is that the RNY patients share their rooms - at least they did in February when I had mine but still bring your ear plugs because snorers are no fun

Room assignment is the luck of the draw and how full the hospital is.
