Defiant

She didn't have an angioplasty done, like we thought she was going to have. She had 3 stents put in her right corrotted artery after having the surgery time changed 4 times on her today alone. She was so frustrated that she wanted me to sneak her out of the hospital and just come on home. Of course, it didn't help much that her nurse at the hospital they transferred her to 1) didn't know first-year nursing terminology, 2) has been a nurse for less than a year, and 3) brought us in a VCR and monitor to show us about the procedure, but the monitor had an "out of order" sign across the screen. Apparently he just didn't notice that one little problem. She was out cold for the night after the surgery, so I didn't get a chance to talk to her about it. Her doctor said that she should be able to come home early tomorrow afternoon, but the nurse on the floor they moved her to after surgery said that she would most likely have to stay there an additional day. That's about all I know so far, but will keep everyone updated as I learn more.
