Hi Lyndi

It is exhausting to try and entertain visitors when I was recovering

from the various abdominal surgeries I have had.

They mean well, but should never stay more than 10 minutes.

Multiple visitors at one time also prevent the staff from getting

their work done.

I would prefer for help after I come home from surgery. For example

cleaning my house, or helping with my kids, cooking a meal.

Enough said.

I hear you..when I'm in the hospital, PLEASE don't call me, don't come

visit..I'm RECOVERING and need rest. My daughter and husband would come by

once a day for long enough to say " love you " and leave.. It was like a

mini-vacation..with REALLY good pain killers! LOL
