Congratulations @rickhartleyjax!
Mayo is pretty great at not having "surprises". They do so much ahead of time to plan for everything and the nurses are amazing. Although my husband was surprised that I only spent 1 night at the hospital.
Do you live near Mayo Florida or are you traveling? As excited as I was to get home, the hotel made it a lot easier not to overdo it.
Do you have questions or concerns? It's sometimes hard to voice things in real life. Its also difficult to find other donors to talk to.
No surprises for me. The team was great! I had quite a bit of pain immediately after surgery but they were able to get that under control quickly. I’m at home and able to control the pain with Tylenol. Best of luck to you!
