Topic: Curious about St Joes Rooms in Hamilton

was just wondering if the rooms in st Joes Hamilton are ward rooms (4 to a room) or do they do private rooms? Also do they allow spouses to spend the night if you're in private? TIA!

Topic: RE: Liquid Diet Before Surgery

I?m currently on optifast and I?m paying $63(and change) per week. That?s through st Joes in Hamilton.

Edit* Im on it for 3 weeks and the pharmacy allows you to by week by week so you don't need to buy it all at once.

I have to do two weeks of Optifast as well, and t cost me $175.00. I ordered it right after I met with the surgeon at UH in London on Dec 3 and it was delivered the next day.

You can BUT...if you are not drinking lots (and I mean lots) of fluids then it will only make things worse.

The restoralax isn't going to work immediately. It will probably take a day to get things moving. You can take it more than once a day. I'd suggest two doses today.

And here's the thing, you need to monitor what's happening. Keep taking the restoralax to keep regular until things start to settle down.

We see her doctors again next week so we will get a good update on her progress. We have seen the pediatrician for a couple weeks which definitely makes me nervous. We did measure her the other day and she is about 24" long now :)
