I know its crazy that there are 4 people in one room. Its a pretty new hospital too or at least part of the hospital at UCLA. My daughter was just in the hosptial 2 weeks ago (she had bronchitis and a partial lung collapse) and she had a huge ocean view room all to herself and heres my mom with this traumatic sugery and shes sharing a room with 4 people. She loves her ENT though and this is the hospital that he works at...good news though they took her off the monitor so she should be moving to her own room soon.
Today she was a lot better than yesterday. She hasn't seen herself yet...I don't think she should until the swelling goes down a bit. Yes she has the morphine pump for pain and the pain is in her leg. When I went in yesterday the first thing she did was point to her notepsd and she wrote "pain button" She had been feeling around for it for quite a while so she was relieved when I got there. Thanks again for everything Minnie your posts really help us all
