Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 , just use an extra hospital gown and wear it backwards. It is much easier. If it gets dirty, you just ask for a new one. Jill H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 REading material...crossword puzzles...music(cd player)...phone numbers of friends...stationary...for me I had " open " surgery so I was in the hospital for four days and could not for the life of me sleep while on Morphine, so in between walking(which I did a lot of) I was bored out of my mind...I could put on my headphones and do a crossword puzzle...TV gets old really fast...good luck!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I stayed 7 days, but that was because I developed pneumonia on the 2nd day. ~H.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 My doc would have let me go home the day after surgery if I had felt up to it. I had surgery on Friday and went home Sunday.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I stayed two days, but I know someone else who stayed 24-hours. Each person is different. Mine wasdone on a Friday so they may not have been in that big of a hurry....the one requorement was that I couldn't go home till I had a bowel movement.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 2 days is definitely the norm. 15 days means there was some kind of complication. Or someone was pulling your leg.
