Thank you for sharing that information with me.I have it book marked just in case.She has been on oxygen,but I do not know if that is adequate enough.It better be.My wife is my world,and a supposedly simple operation is turning into a bad situation.The DR.who is supposed to be world renown can hardly speak English.No big deal except I hate being talked to like I am stupid.He used a glove to demonstrate what he had done to my wife,but I had already downloaded all the info from the net.I had a very good idea of what was going on.The Internet is an amazing way to get info .The one day and home thing is turning into four days and I do not see daylight ahead.Thanks again.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I can't imagine how difficult it may be. Just keep in mind that there's no shame in questioning your wife's care-- it makes no one look dumb except the caregiver..

that said, hyperbaric oxygen therapy requires that she goes into a dive tank of sorts (used to treat the bends in divers) depending where you are, they usually are outpatient deals and in major cities. You can't lose anything if you bring it up to the doc, or write a note on a post-it and ask the nurse to put it on your wife's chart (that works great too)

Godspeed
