What do you do when all the beds in the Surgical Ward are full? Well, here they put the lady who just had a hysterectomy in the hallway on a mattress on the floor. It's a little awkward to do the post-op exam with multiple male onlookers who are lingering in the hallway.
There are so many things that I gladly embrace here, "strange" new ways to which I become accustomed. There is one that I still struggle with...yesterday, I had to use the squatty potty at the hospital for something more than urinating. After I had relieved myself, I looked around and saw my only option: a bucket of water...and then the sink in that room was non-functional. Toilet paper is a foreign product. I'll let you fill in the blanks that I have left in this "tidbit." Some things I have yet to embrace as normal.
Thanks for following us, in our adventures,
Kimberly, for the Beine Bunch
