Take care, take it easy.

I had a nightmarish experience with my TAH/BSO. The epidural they had me on for pain didn't work (one bag was bad, have no idea why, the other bags of IV worked) and I was in so much pain right after the surgery I thought I was losing my mind. I was released to go home less than 24 hours after my surgery.

I was glad to be home, even though I was still hurting pretty badly for a day or two even with the Percocet.

I have military health care and was in a military hospital.

Anyway you aren't alone in how you were treated.

applies to all. Hospitals decided that it wasn't necessary to keep people and see how they were doing with recovery. Just look at what they've done to reduce the time a new mother spends in a hospital. When I had my son, 42 years ago, I was hospitalized for 6 days! Now it's good if you spend 24 hours there.

I was in surgery for over two and a half hours on a leg that has been in severe trauma for 9 months. they fucked up.

procedure.

My husband had a hernia surgery last year. He'd had one 30 years earlier, and at that time they kept him in the hospital for two or three days ... and the recovery was horrible. This time, he showed up at the outpatient surgery at 6:30 to check in; the anesthesiologist was in by 8; they were kicking him out by 9:30 or so once he could show he could pee. He came home and rested, with Tylenol only for the rest of the afternoon. He was back at work the next day.

It's not always better to be in a hospital: there are risks of infection, and it's expensive and often unnecessary.

This is the problem with only some people being on Medicaid. If everyone was on Medicaid, treatment standards would go up, they would have to.

I'm glad you have people to help, cali.
