This is the 2nd time since October 2018 that I have been on 2nd floor Orthopedic Unit. Both times I have had a wonderful stay. The first time had right shoulder reverse replacement. I had a complication with my gut from the anesthesia and found out I had an Illeus.
As soon as this was diagnosed the Hospital Doctors jumped to care for me the rest of the visit. What was supposed to be a 2-3 day stay was one week but I was treated with dignity the whole time there. Lot's of compassion and they changed up my pain medication plan to
IV meds since I could not keep anything down. The nurses careful and with great understanding put a Naso Gastric tube in to relieve the abdominal pressure. That procedure was not fun but they coached me through it wonderfully so I could feel better without any further surgery. Thanks for your caring and help. During a stressful time for a week. Every one from Nurses to PT and OT and Doctor's and cleaning staff and cafeteria staff we're there to serve and make sure I had a good stay.
Fast forward to 6/17/19 I had the same surgery on my left shoulder. The staff listened to me regarding what happened with the following Surgery. Anesthesia Physician talked about a different plan to put me to sleep and keep my belly happy. It worked. I had no complications. Got to eat starting first night in the hospital. Had one of the same nurse's from my first visit but the nurse I had not worked with during my stay in October was just as competent and sensitive to my needs. They kept my pain under control with the plan I had in place with my Pain MGMT Doctor office.
Pt and It were great. I asked to see Scott PT from my first time in the hospital to thank him along with the 2 ladies that helped me last visit and this visit.

My Surgeon Doctor Hatzidakis is the best. He knows how to take a complicated procedure and give me the best outcome for mobility and less pain. My first shoulder is progressing very well I expect the same from this past surgery.

Cudos also to the operating room staff nurse's and helper's for Dr Hatzidakis.

If I need another hospital stay or a family member needs to be in the hospital this will be my first Choice.

Thanks Hospital for making my stay wonderful and safe.
