Surgeon Testimonial

Kimberley Steele
I have been very impressed with Dr. Steele and the staff at John's Hopkins. I must admit the first time that I met Dr. Steele I was a little worried about my husband and I's choice of surgeons. The first meeting was tough and she was tough on us. Looking back now, I know that she just wants to make sure that you are prepared and succeed at this surgery. It was a little longer process than I thought it would be as we had some hang ups with other appointments. I had by surgery on 2/15/11. Dr. Steele was wonderful. She had a great bedside manner. She took time to spend with me when she visited me both days after my surgery until I was discharged. We talked over some concerns that I would have coming home. I would highly recommend anyone in the area that can use John's Hopkins and Dr. Kimberley Steele as their surgeon, to do so. In speaking to others that have used this practice, Dr. Steele has the best success rate of all the surgeons in the practice. I know that I will succeed with this surgery and that Dr. Steele will be there every step of the way to support me.

3 Days Post Op
posted on 2/18/11 9:06 pm
Well, had my surgery on Tuesday. Things went well so I have been told. Lost a little more blood than my surgeon expected and spent alot of time in recovery because my oxygen levels kept dipping and I was having a tough time with breathing. That I kind of expected as it is normal for me to have that type of issues from past surgeries that I have had. So I decided to come home last evening. Dr. Steele told me not to be in a hurry to leave the hospital and that she would keep me another day, but I decided to come home, to see my hubby & kids and to sleep in my own bed. I don 't think I made the wrong choice as I was doing really well yesterday morning, no IV and walking, walking, walking. Today was rough though. I walked alot as it was absolutely gorgeous here for being the middle of Feb. However fluid intake has been a challenge and actually felt sick earlier this evening because I drank too much. Not having that feeling yet it's hard to judge when I have had enough. I'm tired very easily too. I have taken 2 naps today already and am ready for bed. I know my body needs the rest but I feel guilty for not spending the time with my family and sleeping instead. I did have that remorse when I woke up Wednesday wondering "What have I done?". But it lasted for just a ew hours. The more that I got up and moved around and I started feeling better, the more that I knew that I had made the right choice for me. I know that it will get easier every day, guess I just need to feel like myself soon. I'm so glad that I will have 6 weeks off work to recover and get things in order for myself before I need to add that extra stress to my life.
