Being Your Own Advocate
My wife Linda had a
knee replacement surgery on the 13th. Apparently the surgery went
well. However, she had a problem with the pain medication prescribed. Some of
the side effects that she experienced from the meds included: hallucinations,
agitation, nausea, and at times, incoherence. There obviously was a mix-up as
far as the medication and in the relationship with one of the doctors who
assisted the main surgeon.
To say the least, Linda was happy with her main doctor and
the hospital staff. She was not at all happy with the assisting doctor. Linda
thought he was rude, narcissistic, talked too fast, and did not listen to her.
I’m sure you’ve heard the story, “the operation was
successful, but the patient died.” Although Linda didn’t die, that hospital
experience leaves a sour taste.
I will keep you posted on her progress. In the meantime,
keep moving, laughing, smiling, bonding, loving and appreciating. Further, keep
out of the hospital.
