The colonoscopy last Monday (2/26) was clear with no findings. I opted to stay on clear liquids till my surgery to repair the Lumbar Hernia. Per the surgeon the repair was complicated but successful! We were given the option of a private room or shared, we opted for private suite ……that came at a price $$$$. Originally I was to be hospitalized for one to two nights. Well here we are on day seven and I am being discharged. Just yesterday March 4th I was cleared to start having solid foods. The restrictions to be on liquids was due to nausea. The medical team tried different nausea medications to help with the on going nausea, I couldn’t keep down water, it was bad.
When I was give the menu to order breakfast yesterday I got to see what they offered. Let’s just say I missed out on some delicious meals. Below is one of two menus to pick from, my husband Jack was well fed.
When we leave Mt. Sanai this afternoon, we will head out to a hotel at Times Square. I will have a post-op appointment with Dr. Reiner this coming Thursday. At that appointment the surgeon will lets us know exactly when we can leave this area.
Below is one of my favorite pictures, we are on the upper east side over looking Central Park towards the west side.
Signing off, many mahalos for the love and support and above all, prayers.
