I recently had a hysterectomy and hernia repair done at MUSC. The hysterectomy was performed by Dr. Graybill and I think it went fairly well, though I am only a little over 6 weeks postop. I am still concerned with why Dr. Graybill made the large verticle incision to perform the surgery and I will follow up with her and ask questions when I see her. My hospital stay was short, but amazing, and 90% of the nursing staff who cared for me was awesome. My only gripe about my few days in the hospital was that one tech was far too loud and talkative when I spent the first night in the recovery room. Once I was moved to my own room, my care was outstanding. Shout out to Maddie, one of the nurses who went out of her way to see that I was comfortable. Since leaving the hospital, my checkups have gone pretty well and I have been able to have them at a location in Murrels Inlet with one of Dr. Graybill's team ob surgeons, Dr. Kohler. He has been very thorough and caring. I have, however, had complications with the hernia repair done by Dr. Leon. Nurse Marie Gardner worked diligently to get me in to see Dr.Leon again and I had to have the area drained 4 weeks postop. Two weeks later, at 6 weeks postop, the fluid has returned and the area is very sore and red. I have called to make an appointment with Dr. Leon and I am waiting to see if I can be seen soon to figure out where this fluid is coming from and what needs to be done to correct this issue. As of now, the earliest I can be seen is Sept 11th and that seems like too long to wait to address my complication.
