All went well this morning, and the surgeon removed the inflamed parotid gland on my left side without any problems. We got to the VA Hospital at 5 a.m., and was released at 1 p.m.. Once we got back home I napped for quite awhile this afternoon, and we had some of my chicken noodle soup with crackers for dinner. No lifting, pushing or pulling for at least a week, and tomorrow I need to schedule a follow-up for 10-14 days out. I'll be laying low for awhile and have lots of time for playing ham radio and cooking for "She who must be obeyed.".
Good hospital experience for the most part, with good, caring doctors & nurses. My hat is off to the great surg/med staff at the Wade Park VA Hospital in Cleveland. Now... the lazy, arrogant, magazine reading employee taking up space at the sign-in counter on the surgical floor is another thing. What a waste of human flesh, and a stain on an otherwise hard working, caring and kind department.
