Just brought my wife home from the hospital today. She had a Defibrillator placed in her shoulder. Rather nasty little incision, with stitches. Don't life the arm and another batch of instructions she has to follow, has to take it easy for a week or so, then a checkup in two weeks.
Our hospital has been remodeled a number of times, and for its size, it is probably a "state of the art" hospital. If it is new and advanced, LMH has it. I did not get to go into the operating room but I imagine it is a maze of modern technology. I was even given a little disc thing that would vibrate when the operation was over.
Her room is also very modern, all sorts of monitors, computers, scanners, motion sensor plumbing in the sink and some other new gadgets.
My point being, it is a very modern, up to date, state of the art hospital.
When she was finished, I was ushered into a small consulting room where the Doctor came after the operation to let me know how it went, and to give me some other instructions. Then, to the room, and instructions to both the wife and I.
The Doctor went over the instructions, the do's and don'ts, things she should and should not do. No moisture around the incision. This can be accomplished by going to the store and purchasing some "Glad Press N Seal," it does the best job keeping the incision dry.
All the modern technology and then ........... that.
