I'm sure everyone will understand how difficult this is for you! I hope that you are surrounded with very kind, supportive medical people.

I've been in similar situations. You have the right to as much privacy as you wish within what they are able to give you. That starts with your husband not being present. It use to be men were not expected to be in delivery rooms, nor did they want to. Now it seems unnatural if that is the case. One BIG thing people tend to forget under the stress of hospitalization is we can sign papers stating we don't want students involved-even if it is a teaching hospital. If for some reason they insist perhaps you can limit it to one or two students with limited participation. Ask questions as to the extent of involvement students & others may have & express your concerns. Your health & blood pressure & rate of healing should be their number one concern. Oh! Sorry, I just realized I'm posting a month late! I've been away in hospital. Hope all is well. Take care.

Thank you @lillyanne - you did provide some good information for us all.

How are you feeling after your hospitalization?

Late or not, a reply is always welcome. Here this one is, months later. Lol. But it's ok. I go for awhile in between posts, longer than I should but I don't have a lot of good days. Maybe after the re-testing and whatever comes after that. It's thought consuming and terrifying right now and will get worse as it gets closer. I'm extremely fortune to have an absolute rock for a husband, as most who read my posts know. He does not hesitate to step in when I'm overwhelmed and outside my comfort zone to the point I'm ready to flip out. My care team during radiation and procedures were fantastic and I learned to trust them enough to tell them when it was enough. And they were very good at learning ahead of time and during treatment what my limits were. Hopefully your stay in hospital went well. Take care,
