The person who called me on Friday and told me someone would be setting me up within the next 48 hours had absolutely no idea what she was talking about and there are still no loaner AutoPAP machines IN THE ENTIRE FUCKING STATE OF NEW MEXICO

While I agree with you on this (really), we were in fact assured repeatedly (at the initial consult, during pre-op, when the doctor spoke to me while G was in recovery, and during the discharge process) that there would be no pain ("only very minimal discomfort, all you'll need is ice"), no chance of anything non-straightforward, complete healing by last night and no need for Gareth to take off work today. I mean, they completely failed to tell us anything to do to treat anything that went wrong. It's only because I kept asking questions that we know what little we know. The doctor also completely failed to tell me the problems G. was having as soon as he was out of surgery--G. (who was still coming out of the anesthesia) had to tell me what problems he was having because the doctor had just told me (immediately after seeing G.) that he was "absolutely fine and would have no problems." Yeah, absolutely fine except that he was unable to walk or sit up or down on his own. I mean, the doctor basically told me that we'd be able to walk out of there as soon as I took G's clothes back. It was another hour and a half and they finally had to take him out in a wheelchair.
