Three stars because the pre-op nurse was amazing, but the post-op team seemed to just want us to leave. My husband helped me get to the bathroom and get in and out of the chair and bed in the post-op room, I had paperwork shoved at me that had very limited information on what I should and shouldn't do after my surgery (which was a major surgery), but we had to "hurry and leave now before your pain meds wear out." I never had any breathing information explained to me, and my pain levels were out of control there, as well as home. My poor hubby my first night home had to wake up every hour with me due to my pain levels, I couldn't even get to the toilet by myself. I should have been kept overnight as soon as the nurse saw that my pain was not resolved by the medication for the entire time it was suppose to work. She said instead to flip from 2 pain pills every four hours to 1 every 1 1/2 hours, so it would run smoother. The problem with that is my husband got zero sleep for my first 36 hours home. A hospital overnight would have allowed him to get some sleep and be a husband instead of a nurse...he did an amazing job, but for what we pay out for medical bill that was crazy...we actually said it reminded us of the commercial of the do it yourself surgeries.
