Hey Suprised
Hey Suprised. Sure stop by. I will be in the hospital until Sep 1st. I move to Medicos Rehab on Sep 2 which is attached to the Courtyard Marriott. From talking to other patients I heard the rehab is a no nonsense and an all day affair including also massage therapy for seven days. The rehab facility is utilized by the professional soccer team also.
So far everything is going smooth. I met with the Dr today and all my worries were put to ease. The Dr's office was very upscale and Dr Bierstedt explained the procedure in detail. I no longer have any doubt the surgery will be successful. I definitely had my doubts flying to another country to undergo a major surgery and wondered if I was making the right move. I guess only time will tell at this point.
Now I am at the hospital in Hattingen drinking special fluids to clean the old pipes so I am ready for surgery tomorrow. The room is really nice and they are only single rooms. Food was also surprisingly good as well considering I was in a hospital.
