Well yesterday I had my surgery, it was not a day surgery, walk in and out procedure. It was painful but all is well now and am resting with pain killers. It really is a nice clinic or Casa di Cura as we say here in Rome. Lots of care for the patient and lots of attention to details. The food is good too served on nice china ware. The big stress was that all of this happens in Italian and when you are groggy with painkillers words escape you and you do not know how to explain what you are feeling, however the nursing staff speak a little English and one of the doctors spoke French. The pain is described in Italian as fastidioso or dolore intenso. Then there are all the little details, what you cannot do or should avoid after the operation. I also like the fact that the doctor pointed out to me that there will be no scar, important detail per la bella figura.
I have to go back in a few days for a check-up and settle the bill, it is a private clinic, so it is not cheap.
But then again you do not wait and all is done in an atmosphere of calm, cannot say that about public hospitals in Rome.
