Re: Vonnies CAT Scan at NEBH,

[Guest guest]

Vonnie,

I am glad today went well for you.. it is kind of nice that you got

a first hand preview of the facilities. I think I was told that all

the beds got changed last year just before I came in so they are

still fairly new. I was soooo " touched out " , for the lack of a

better word, after laying in bed so many days...I didn't even like

the feeling of the sheets against my skin...so I know that having a

good mattress under you is not a bad thing! (As I am typing this now

I am wondering if that was a reaction to the meds or just a by

product of spending so much time in a bed?)

And NEBH has just finished a major renovation..one floor was still

in the works last winter...but I think everything is pretty new. My

Mom had her hip done at MGH (and also was there after a stroke) and

although they were very competent and nice....the place is like a

small city itself...not very intimate or personal. And they have to

feed a lot more people....it is an advantage NEBH is focusing on.

I am glad to hear they made you feel comfortable for the procedure...

the last thing you want is to feel tension when someone is sticking

a needle in your back!

Looking forward to hearing your results.

Take Care, Cam
