the whole hospital experience
Jun 22, 2011
i was back from the hospital, on 16Th June . a day before my birthday.(17 Th June) . the dac suggested for me to stay back for a day more , but i just wanted to get back home . cause i have not seen my daughter for 3days, and it was killing me , and as i stepped in the home , what a warm well come i got from her , and she had so many stories in store for me. i am blessed to come back home to her. thank you god .in the hospital:
the room:
i went to the hospital to get admitted on 13Th June evening, got the room , but it was twin sharing , we placed a request to get us a single room as soon as possible. they said it will be possible only by mid night , as mother was staying the night with me i know the stupid sofa they provided was not going to be comfortable for her,to sleep . so i said to the nurse incharge , when ever even in the middle on the night we will be ready to change the room , and thank god we got the room by 2:30 am in the night. it was a very comfortable and spacious room. they measured my weight in and i was 114 kg so i went down from 119kg to 114kg on liquid diet. yay......
preparing for surgery 14Th June:
the changed me into a hospital gown early in the morning on the 14Th June. the gown they first gave me was not big enough for me , then they finally found an XXL for me. they started the IV and i was shifted to the OT floor at 11:15 , and had to wait in the stretcher for more then half an hour.
the OT:
i was wheeled in the OT at 12:15pm. the team of anesthetist's were the first to introduce themselves to me. and were jocking around to make me feel comfortable. one of them asked me ,that my surgeon has told them, that i have done a lot of research on the surgery.so he asked me what have i researched about the anesthesia," please enlighten us"
so i told them that it is the only thing i didn't research at all . so they asked why to which i said "because i trust you guys totally " they all started laughing ,although i wanted to say " i didn't think it was as important." but i knew it could have had bad out come , i was already in the OT. after all.
they took my gown off ,and put my both hands straight and i guess they put in the IV , and when i was out i have no idea.
the recovery room :
when i woke up , i was in the recovery room , and was in pain ,my vision was blurred, i tried to make sound from my mouth to call the doctor in that room , he came and i told him i was in pain , i saw he went and called up some one , and came and gave me a shot, and in some time i started to feel like vomiting, i again tried and called the doc to tell him , he again made a call , and gave me another shot , but the discomfort was still their , and i could feel my whole back was stiff, later i came to know it was about 8:30 pm then, so i was in the stretcher for hours now , that's my back was so tiff, they have put a leg compressor on my both legs to keep of the blood clots, i was shifted to my room at 9:15 pm in the night . it was a very long day for me , and for my family ,who were stressed over me .
the whole night i was suffered because of my back , kept on calling the nurse to put pillow under my left side then my right side. my husband was their with me in the hospital through out the night. he too took good care of me.
the surgery has gone well, no complications have happened. the recovery in the hospital was good .the nursers were exceptionally good . and took good care of me.
rest later
