"I had a pleasant stay at the hospital. It was very accomodating. I had a private room with a couch there for my husband to stay with me. The room was large so when visitors came, there was room for everyone. The nurses were great especially Niece who helped me take a shower on the third and fourth day. The bird sanctuary in the day room was awesome. The only bad thing about the whole experience was the barium swallow test in x-ray. The x-ray doc was very hurried and curt. To get the x-ray you stand on a little shelf thing and the x-ray comes down in front of you. It kept hitting my stomach and hurting. I kept telling them it was hitting my incision and hurting. He said, "It doesn't go out any further." I endured it so that I could get to drink something afterwards. But the surgeon, nurses and floor staff were awesome."
