I'm glad things went so well for you Joy! I know you were worried about that IV stick!
Your comment about no guerney for the ride from recovery room to hospital room...reminded me of something. My stepfather got an itemized bill for his cataract surgery once, and was commenting on all the little detailed things that cost so much. This was in the 80's. There was a guerney charge of 100.00 for use of the guerney from his outpatient room to the OR. He told the billing dept. "next time, I"m walking down to surgery, forget that (blankety blank) guerney charge!"
When I broke my hip in Feb., I was so grateful that they brought a bed to take me to my room, then I didn't have to be moved from the bed until I was in surgery and asleep! Very kind.
