    Default Surgery Next Week

    Aloha,
    My surgery is scheduled for March 22nd. It hasn't hit me yet. Anyone else going that day? I am going to be traveling alone, but I'd like to have another buddy who is alone to go with me and get possibly get a few souvenirs (As long as the pain is tolerable). I'm excited for this new journey. And I wish everyone well.

    Good Luck on your surgeries !!! Mine was done just a couple weeks ago and I have healed well. If you are going alone , they will keep you at the hospital the whole time . You will be able to get up and walk around as you please but not be able to go out.The hospital is located on a small gated lot. Very nice and brand new and all the nurses are great .

    The hotel must have been full because its not the normal practice to do that. My roomate in the hospital was roomed at the hotel with another lady traveling alone. The hotel and hospital are both nice and clean and clise to each other. We did a lot of things as a group so those traveling alone aren’t by themselves very much. Glad to hear your doing well. It really is an amazing ride.

    Hi Katie, your in for an amazing ride and Dr A and his team are outstanding. Best decision i ever made. My life as changed completely. I feel alive again and i’m not wasting a second. You will be amazed what this surgery will do for you and hopefully like me will be the easiest surgery you ever had. The first hour or two was horrible but the nurses turned that around. Walking was my best friend. I was able to go shopping on day two. Your driver can take you to some great shopping areas, we went as a group then did our own thing. Good luck and best wishes for a good recovery. Ps Second week will be a lot better than the first. FBBD2C6C-ADD3-4752-AB73-F7F6CB6AA8D9.jpeg29ED8588-9E39-40EF-8661-75C4608F364F.jpeg
