@gaulsuerou WOW girl that nurse really put you through the wringer!
When you can please write a letter detailing what happened and send it to the Director of Nursing at your hospital. That kind of treatment should not be allowed to continue!!! Among all the other horrid care things it appears she blatantly lied to the other nurse about taking your vitals - Oh so wrong on so many levels!!!!
Thank goodness you are home now and can get on with the healing part of the process.
And what is it with the felines?
How do they ALL know exactly where you don't want them to step and proceed to do exactly that? When I had my BTHR I had 2 Maine Coon cats (see my avatar picture) - sweet girls and very big - one was 18lbs and one was 22lbs. They missed their mamma soooooo much that both wanted to snuggle at the same time (a rare occurrence with those 2)
- one on each hip landing at the same time while I was trying to get settled OOOPH! Poor kitties my shriek scared them and it was a while before they returned. But they learned quickly that next to was OK but on top of was not OK (ice packs work pretty good as kitty deterrent). And they learned to avoid the walker and crutches, wait patiently for food to arrive, and that trying to get me up at 0-dark-30 would not longer work to get them breakfast when they wanted it.
I am glad you are not having much swelling or bruising ..... but, alas, that might show up in the next few days. I had what looked like bruising all down my right leg that showed up about 6-7 days post op.
Surgeon said when I called about it that he'd done right hip first so gravity caused blood to pool a bit when he did the left one (aka flipping me over to get to the left hip) - plus he said there was usually some blood seepage into surrounding tissue during surgeries like mine and the bruise look was merely that blood being reabsorbed.
Virtual hugs
and blessings
- may your recuperation proceed with nary a glitch or mess up!!!
