Survived Surgery. . . .
Aug 05, 2009
Oh boy, what a time it was in the hospital. My mom came down to help and stayed with me the whole hospital stay. I was so grateful for her being there. I almost cried the day they sent me home, I did not feel ready. I lived despite being a big cry baby. Without crying, cause that would cause me "distress". We get home and my mom and Husband do not like being around each other. I could have beat the tarnation out of the both of them that evening. Fussing like little children, arguing over my care. I told them both enough! Hubby your sleeping in the guest twin size day bed, Mom you are sleeping in the other bedroom and going home in the morning, I am going to the big bed. Told them both if there was any blood shed, get out on the drive way. I cleaned really good before I had surgery. I want dont want to have to do anything but call the coronor and spray down the drive. Oh really! My recovery has been pretty easy, I stopped wanting to kill people the 10th day after surgery. I was irritable, and sick of being fussed over.So, that is pretty much how things have been in the house. I have been monitoring drinks, protien and so forth. So far all is well. I have been going walking and let me tell ya, dont go shopping at Wal-mart, the mall, or a farm and ranch store. You will spend money. I thought, farm and ranch store, we wont find anything in there, Oh, do not be fooled. Pants for back to school for my son, and my husband bought some type of screening stuff. I think I am stuck with walking at the school track or up and down our block. Today we went to Acadmy sports and I got some flip flops, a pair of deck shoes, a couple of shirts for my son and a hamburger press that my husband wanted. Unless you head into a tool shop, your pretty much going to find something you "need". There should be a special spending account set up for everyone going through this surgery that can be billed to insurance. We are after all, just following Dr.s advice. I think a flat $1000 account would be adequate.
Got the bill for the hospital, does not even include the seperate doctors charges. . . . . .$27834.00. For 45 minutes? Cant say I did not get my monies worth from the insurance company this year. Oh my goodness. after it is all said and done, I shudder to think how much money will be paid out. I bet my insurance company wants to get rid of me anyway possible. I do feel very lucky to have the surgery.
There are so many people who could benefit from this surgery and it could over time, save so much money for everyone. Well, that is what I have been up to.
