I'm so glad to hear your ds made it through the surgery and is on his way to recovery. Just reading your post brought back so many memories of things that stressed me out during my brief stays in hospitals - it's not an easy environment for even mellow people to try to sleep and recover.

And I am very proud of your ds for researching, for asking questions, and for being actively involved in his own medical care! It's really important, and shame on that nurse for not appreciating him!

Best wishes to your ds!
