Girls;
Please listen.
That has got to really suck, and I mean worse than taking one of our testicles. I wish it never had to happen, but there is one thing you should know.
Hospitals are the major cause of death. More advanced hospitals get you out as soon as possible. Anyone not mathematically challenged could tell you that the longer you stay there, the greater your chances of catching something else, if Pasteur was right the first time.
And I would also suggest that you get out of there ASAP. If you can survive at home, go home. It doesn't get much plainer than that.
Now get this, DO NOT have anyone come from outof town for you convalesence. Absolutley not, refuse, absoutely, for at least six weeks.
The reason for that is that any surgery is actually an injury to the bodt and it must heal. While normally you might have an adequate immune system, it needs to rebuild, AFTER you heal from the surgery.
My Ma got home from a quad bypass in about a week. I agree with that, even with her weak. And I am with my reasoning now.
My friends and I go over to Ma's sometimes, do a little fixing up, stuff like that, actually it is alot more than that, but that is not the point. I told them she didn't want to see anyone, I went alone for a time. You see I don't want her exposed to all kinds of germs, in case they exist. I mean whatever I might have, being a son, she can probably hamdle too, but who knows where the rest of these people have been ? Not that it would be their fault, but in my judgerment, minimize the risk to Ma, therefore I say no, and what I say goes. Nobody challenged me.
So, the point is, some hospitals are getting hip to the fact that you go in there for one thing and come out with more. The odds of that increase every day you are in there. So there is a legitimate reason for getting you discharged ASAP. You have to understand, every time you touch anyone, you can get AIDS, every time you are in a room breathing the same air as someone with TB, you can get TB.
Those are extreme examples, but the thing is, there is one chance in X, it could be millions, but each occurrence, each day, each anything is another possibility, no matter how remote, the odds will catch up to somebody.
Why would we want that ?
Sis and I made it comfy for Ma when she went home. The very next day she had almost everything moved back in place, where SHE had it. Her recovery overall is not really going better than expected, it is going as expected, but that Woman will not stop, not completely.
We had it all figured out, a mere weight steps to the batrhroom, ten would get you almost all the way through the kitchen, rolled the big TV and a bed in the diningroom and it lasted one day. She was not about to live like that.
To sum it up, get home as soon as you can.
