Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi Dr. Gross fans, Just got back yesterday from surgery on 5-19. Got great care from all the hospital staff as well as Dr. Gross and Lee. They really do go out of their way to help. I mean, Lee even drove me personally to the hospital for the lab work, since I didn't have a car. I suppose they could have called me a cab, but she made arrangements to drive me. Wow! The Hampton provided Shuttle service to the Doctor's office and to the hospital the next day - free! I wish I could have gone out to dinner Sat. as planned with my girlfriend who flew in to help me get through the airports and back home. As it turned out, I developed some kind of cellulitis rash around the upper thigh, kind of near the incision site, and Dr. Redmond (who was on call and very nice) thought I should stay over til Sunday when Dr. Gross could check it. In the mean time, I got some oral antibiotic specific to skin infections. Well the rash was still there at 8:00AM, but when Dr. Gross saw me at 10:00 it had TOTALLY disappeared!! Go figure. Praise the Lord I was released to catch out flight back home. I have learned that it is a good idea to alert the security officers BEFORE I walk though the metal detector, otherwise, EVERYBODY PANICS! My friend Carol and I were a comical site struggling through the airport with the luggage, x-rays, ice machine and wheelchair!! How about that continuous flow ice pad that actually stayed in place??? Isn't that the greatest invention? I am sure I didn't need Vicadin because of the ice therapy. All in all, it has been a neat little adventure and so far am having a very positive result. Regards to all of Dr. Gross' hippies. I passed on your hello's - he smiled. Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
