What was it?…..I’m not really sure…..

I’m seeing my surgeon this week…..

…..I don’t remember what he said in the hospital…..

What with the Covid-19 situation…..family members aren’t allowed in the hospital…..

…..just cargo drop off…..and pick up…..

But in between…..I (the cargo/patient) was on my own…..

…..I vaguely remember being given verbal instructions…..

…..I mostly remember refusing green Jell-O…..(what is it with hospitals and bad Jello-O?)…..

…..I’m fairly sure I have some discharge paperwork…..(somewhere)…..

…..I managed to bring home the new prescriptions for medicine…..(but maybe it was because my older daughter frisked me for any pertinent-paperwork as soon as they deposited me in the car?)…..

But I do have to say…..having an advocate next to you while you’re in the hospital (who isn’t equally drugged)…..is a really good thing…..!…..

I know I nodded my head enthusiastically…..in agreement…..with all the doctor’s instructions…..

…..I remember doing that…..

…..I’m sure I was convincing…..

But the hospital discharge papers should’ve been pinned to me like my mittens were when I was a toddler…..

I’m writing down questions as I go along…..

…..with stars  &  bullet-points  &  multi-colored highlights…..

…..I’ve got one or two (or 43) of them for my doctor…..

First and foremost…..

…..do I have to be “careful” for one or two weeks…..

…..or was it one or two months…..?…..

Secondly…..what is “careful”?…..

I had a fairly straight forward optic-fiber operation…..

…..I’m grateful it was an ambulatory procedure…..

…..(even though the bruise on my neck seems to be growing)…..

I shared the floor of the hospital with others who had open-heart surgery…..

…..(how are they going to remember what’s been told to them?)…..

…..I mean…..I had the conscious-wherewithal to even consider snitching some towels…..

…..(but hospital towels are the worst)…..

…..(they aren’t big enough to cover any of the bare basics)…..(HA!)…..

Upon discharge…..I asked my nurse if I could (pretty please) ride…..

…..Nurse Ratched said…..I could pet my horse…..

…..I’m fairly sure she heard me growling as she up-ended me from the wheel chair into the car…..

I’ll find out more details later this week…..
