Hospital help

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

As some of you know, I am home in Alabama now after

having hemiresurfacing on the left June15th and full

resurfacing on the right the twentieth of June....both done

during the same hospital stay. Done by Dr. Mont in

Baltimore. I found the staff to be great...but as many

of you have posted it really helps having someone there to

help you especially at night. My DH went with me and

she stayed most nights but we also had her a place at the

Raddisson which was only two miles away and offered

shuttles. This allowed her to spend some nights there and

time to get away from me and chill out from time to time. No

matter how good the relationship.....it is stressful!

Now here is the reason for my post....suppose there is

someone out there that is planning to have this surgery and

for some reason or another....going by themselves. I have an

idea....I work in the medical field ...and have seen this.

How about hiring a sitter...say from seven PM to Seven

Am. I bet the hospital could give you names on people

that do this and I would think their rates would be

reasonable. I have found these people to usually be retired

nurses.....nursing students or just caring people. Something

to think about?
