Went thru a huge ordeal when I had 14" of my colon removed. Just that section was prone to diverticulitis. The first time I had to go to the restroom after the surgery the stupid nurse made me get up by myself. It ripped the inner stitches loose and got infected because of it. The doc had to rip open the incision and let it heal from the inside out. Spent two months at home on drugs with nurses coming by every day to debris the 10cm deep wound. Debris is a nice way of saying scrub the scabs off.

The nurse that made be get up by myself was also not giving me any pain meds. Kept telling me to grow up and tough it out. She was putting on my chart that I was taking them and taking them home. Because of my complaining my Mom and a friend from work stayed with me to make sure I actually got them. Because of me she got fired. If not I would have sued the hospital.

That year I remember Halloween night sitting in a hospital room in a bloodied white hospital gown. They wouldn't let me go trick or treating dern it.
