I did it! I made it through the hospital stay! Can you believe that other lady wanted to be released that day, too! Uuuggghhh. I really wonder if she’s gonna handle this life altering change well.
My dad came that day to see me and take my mom home to Austin. My husband and I would rough it together at the hotel until Tuesday. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped at a drug store to get the liquid Tylenol prescription filled. I knew I didn’t want to take it, but we wanted to have it on hand just in case. I never did end up taking any of it.
We got back to the hotel room and I wanted to lay down. Lemme tell you… laying down on a flat bed is ENTIRELY different than laying down in a hospital bed. Getting comfortable took about 6 pillows and didn’t last. We tried to rent a recliner (which is what I would recommend to anyone out there waiting to have the surgery)… but the soonest they could get it to us would be the day we were leaving. Sigh… Oh well.
