FWIW, my wife's retrieval on Monday was at a different location of our clinic (the main one) and was in their own retrieval suites (i.e. NOT a surgical center where I was) and thus, her experience was MUCH MUCH better and much less "hospitalized". So, we're all happy about that.tbeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845011825238450567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501899681401854385.post-61018864994679218052010-06-30T09:52:32.744-04:002010-06-30T09:52:32.744-04:00That sounded tough in parts, eh?

When my time comes I'll feel like I'm just walking in your shoes. I'm sorry Sugar couldn't be there. For us that will probably be good since Col does NOT do well in hospitals. And Go Dr. Italian! I wonder if I can request him :-)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02174293947324637632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501899681401854385.post-89082178899307809362010-06-30T09:19:56.339-04:002010-06-30T09:19:56.339-04:00Congrats on 32!

It sounds like a weird combination of being treated like a farm animal and being cared for well by at least a few kind people. I'm very glad it's behind you, and hope very very very much you never have to do it again.bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197167351148883584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501899681401854385.post-78985747451926050822010-06-30T04:50:13.461-04:002010-06-30T04:50:13.461-04:0032?

Fucking I.V.s!!! haha<br /><br />I'm so sorry that Sugar wasn't allowed to be there for you for a majority of the time. =( Just having your partner there to hold your hand makes everything much more bearable.
