Well, I could have said, “Breakfast At Tiffanies”,but this is more fun; or so they say. The photo here is from my room at St Lukes Regional Medical Center here in Boise, while I had my OHS. The RN’s all called it the Taj Mahal – the original is in Agra, India – of Boise – one of the better rooms. And while I’m on the subject, let me say this about that. (I’ve heard that before!) My surgical team was superb – there were at least 4 of them. It was awesome. Everyone helped me through the rough spots; the psychological anxiety. I would not hesitate to recommend the surgical staff to anyone who might need heart surgery.
But there is another side of this “coin”. I am very happily married to an RN. So I pretty much know how they react to a given medical situation. The 15 or so RN’s that attended me while I was hospitalized, were outstanding! They were/are the personification for Florence Nightingale. They are Angels of Mercy. And if a stay of this type can be fun, these folks made it so. I just have so much admiration and respect for what they do and how they carry their duties out. Are these the most perfect and awesome Registered Nurses in Boise? I only know these RN’s so my answer is Yes. A heartfelt thanks to all of you!

Hold the bear close to your chest if you must cough. It helps to alleviate the pain. (I didn’t call it a Teddy Bear, Barbara RN)

And it was not bad. Rather good. Not Vincinos, but good! For breakfast I usually had a Sausage and Onion Omelet with fresh fruit and OJ.

Oh yes. I had surgery on the 19th, went home on Jan 23 and had a birthday brunch to go to on Jan 24. It was delicious! Yes. That’s lox!

A good stay at St Lukes. I don’t want to do it again, but this was good!
