Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 Hi all! I just spent 25 minutes talking to on the phone and she's doing great! :-) Here are the details as she relayed them to me: She got to " A.M. Admits " by 6:00 AM. The less-than-spectacular Admitting Clerk told her to go sit down; that she would not be called until 9:00 AM. Being resourceful, took out the letter she had received from Dr. Deviny's office and reread the portion that said, " Be at A.M. Admits NO LATER THAN 6:45 AM. , ever the relentless problem solver, took the letter back to the Admitting Clerk. The Admitting Clerk said, " I'm busy; I don't need to see that; Go sit down again. " A minute later, the Admitting Clerk said, " Ooh, maybe I DO need to see that. " By 7:00 A.M. was admitted and in Pain Management where her big day really got going. She got an epidural, which she says, hurt. She also said that it caused back spasms. This is not good because has been having back pain for some time now. She was in surgery from 10 AM – 1 PM. Her COMMON CHANEL is 90 cc. They removed her APPENDIX but left her GALL BLADDER because in Dr. Deviny's words, " it looked quite healthy. " said that they found a bit of scar tissue, presumably from a previous hysterectomy. She's experiencing stomach spasms which is no fun at all. Her arms are both numb. The nurses say that this happens sometimes with the epidural. says " Thanks for all the beautiful private emails she's been getting. You guys are totally awesome. Your thoughts have really made a difference. " Hugs to all~ gobo 's angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 Please let her know we are thinking about her and sending her good thoughts. Her experience does not surprise me. When my sister was at OSHS they acted like complete dorks as well. ::::sigh:::: My sister had a numb leg which DID get better after the epidural was removed. Tell her that, maybe it will ease some worry!
