Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hi No the option of family houses for accomodation is not an option. but i have found out after remembering something that the surgeon said in clinic. I remember him saying that should i have not heared about the appointment from the hospital within 3 weeks then to contact the surgeons secretary. usually they tell you that the endoscopy unit will be in touch with the appointment date so i am starting to think that maybe they intend to admit me for overnight observation. I intend to phone the secretary next Monday morning to clarify this and mention my fears of travelling home the same day as having sedation, i am not looking forward to travelling home while still woozy from the sedation. from the UK ________________________________ From: zlmmom1 <mcnairmichelle@...> achalasia Sent: Wed, February 16, 2011 5:49:57 PM Subject: in UK Â I've had gobs of dilations pre and post myo and ectomy but I've never had one while awake and honestly - have no interest in even trying that. I understand your concerns about having to travel but have you looked at 'family lodging' near the hospital? I don't know if that's an option for you but when I go to see my surgeon, they have several family houses you can get rooms in fairly cheap and I always get one for a night or two since it's a long trip. They are located within just a few block of the hospital so the ride would be very short and then you could just go lay down and watch TV or something - spend the night and then go home the next day when you're over the anesthesia. Do you have that available to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
