Thank you Belinda for the precious infos! I had no idea there were IVs without dextrose....!!
The thing is, my husband thinks I'm worrying too much and for nothing. He wants me to trust I'll be in good hands. I'll tell you guys what I'm scared of : MRSA. The super bug. I want my husband to be there at all times and make sure they wash their hands before they touch me. My husband sighs and looks at the ceiling when I say this. I feel
I am not being unreasonable here...
I've seen a nurse take out my daugther's IV needle without gloves, wipe the blood she had on her thumb with her other fingers... and happily go to the next bed to do the same procedure to a young boy who had surgery too!!!!! Well how's that for cross infection??!?
I just hope I can have it all done by a hysteroscopic myomectomy and I'll spend only one day in hospital. The less time I spend in hospital, the better off I'll be I think. Less cutting means speedy recovery too! And I'm going private too. I was told I could wait as long as 9 to 12 months on the NHS. Ack! I don't want to end up with something the size of a pumpkin....!!!!
About C-Section... I had one for my last child, almost 13 years ago. It was my third diabetic pregnancy, I was on insulin. It healed ok. To tell you the truth, it never occured to me back then to worry about healing. My son cried 23/24 and I was simply exhausted. All I could think of was... my bed!!
During the C-Section, I felt horrible too Sandi. I don't know if it was due to my sugars or not. No one checked. Ever. I can only remember hearing the fast beep beep beep of my heart racing on the heart monitor. A nurse told me to relax.
I have started this little check list for myself... and thank to you guys, and your precious advice and comments, it is coming along just fine. Thank you!!!
