GopherIt2's Journal, 10 Apr 24

No surprises here. Just doing what has to be done around here today and not stressing. D.i.l. had a major surgery today and is being released home today. I'm NOT happy but my son took the rest of the week off and will be a pit bull about her not being bothered, working/lifting, etc. He will monitor her closely. Has experience of entire adult life in EMS, firefighter, death-scene investigator, police officer, ortho surgery tech, and works now as a scrub tech. I'm still in disbelief that she was discharged today. Yes, I'm an old-school nurse and not afraid to find fault with corporate medicine with it's money-grubbing patient 'care' protocols.

Meanwhile, I'm in for a biopsy and they wanted to keep me an extra night. Hope her recovery is incident free.

My friend had hip replacement surgery and it was same day discharge. This retired nurse was shocked as well. I do see a problem with pain management post surgery with this method. Best wishes to your DIL for a speedy recovery.

Thanks to all for your support and comments. She seems to be doing OK; son got after her for coming down the 12 or 13 steps to my apartment and shooed her back upstairs before I needed to 'suggest' that the stairs weren't a real good idea yet. ;-)
