Day after surgery

Yesterday was worse than giving birth. i was a horrible day. John is ok, to start with. 

We got told Wed. to be there at 5AM. We thought that his surgery had been moved from noon to 7AM because we know we are suppose to be there 2 hours before hand. So we get up at 4 AM, check out of the hotel and go to the hospital. We get there, and wait and wait. Ok normal. Then I hear this women complaining about how her surgery is at 8 and she hasnt been registered yet. I remember reading on the window that patients are seen in order of surgery time. So I tell Dh to go ask. He goes up there, come back grabs Cade and walks to the car. He precedes to tell me his surgery was still at noon. So we got up 6 hours early. Cade was screaming and Dh was livid and we have no where to go. So we sit in the car. Cade goes back to sleep and Dh reads a book. So we sit and wait. We go back in a few hours later to change Cade and feed him breakfast. They told us they called his name, so he gets registered. And then waits. All a sudden a nurse comes out and tells us what happened and we weren't the only ones. 

The person at the doc. office that makes the appointments was out the day the calls where made. Her replacement made the mistake and called people. Told us to be there at 5AM, the other at 7AM and the last at 9AM. Come to find out none of us lived here. We drove 3 hours, the second drove 5 (from MISS.) and the last 2.5 (From Troy). So we wait again. 

Finally at 11, they call him back and get him in a gown and IV's started and all. So I get brought back to be with him before he goes to surgery at noon. So we wait. I thought about going to the cafeteria to get food, but dh was hungry too and I didnt want to eat in front of him. Luckily I had some spare baby food with me for Cade. 

So 1230 comes around and we know that surgery run late. But then I hear this lady go to the nurses station outside of dh's room and start yelling at the nurses at how her husband was suppose to have surgery and they had been waiting since 7 and drove 2.5 hours and wanted his surgery done now. 

So I go out to see what it was about because I realize she has the same doc. as Dh. They tell her that he is delayed. So I ask how long because his was suppose to be at noon. She says they are starting at 1 now and the lady goes crazy again saying how Dh should give up his time for her husband because he is a professor at Troy Uni. I was like we are a result of a malpractice case. This can ruin my husbands hearing and career. So don't even think you are pushing us out. I was so mad. I just walked back in his room and closed the door. 

Finally at 230! The doctor arrives. He was late and it caused everyones surgery to be prolonged. I felt so bad for the rest of the other two patients because the last patient wasnt going to get in until 730 PM now. 

He went in at 3, I realized the cafeteria was now closed and had no food until dinner at 8 last night. Dh got out of surgery at 5 last night and recovery at 715. We finally found another hotel room after most of them were booked for business meetings and such. And we just got home about 30 min ago. 

He is doing great. Has a big boob on his ear. So I call him boob man now. The pain killers are nice, he keeps telling me how much he loves me. so nice!
