Longest Hospital Stay

I think it was 6 or days..4 or 5 in intensive care. I don't remember a lot. I did not feel good enough to be restless. I had a Micro-vascular decompression done. A doctor (neurosurgeon) got to tiptoe through my brains, wrap teflon around a nerve and but a sponge between an artery and a nerve. It was about a 100 mile drive home, but it felt like much more, I was in such pain. I still have not seen the incision

The longest I was ever in hospital was 3 days. That was when I had a baby. I usually only stayed overnight, but when I haemoraged they kept me in for 3. :-(

My longest hospitail stay was from the end of Febuary 2002 untill March 16,2002. The month after I had gotten diagnosed with M.S. . I was on Copaxone. It works fine for some people with ms. It paralized me and I was on iv steriods for about 2 weeks and then that hospital was scared to let me go home in my condition. I needed a walker after that for about a year. I made myself use a cain. That was a scary time in my life that's for sure. I am glad that God was with me though through it all.

That sounds totally scary Rozie and sorry you had to go through that. The longest stay for me was about a week when I ruptured my archilles tendon and went in on a Wednesday, had my operation two days later, then stayed for another 3 days to recover and wait for the doctor orders to go home = i was homesick by then and missed my son :)

Hi Rozie, I never really was in the hospital, or what i can remeber. But my mum , she can tell you about some really long stays. She is going to hospital at least once a year and I can tell you how depressed she is all the time, when she have to go there. She has a lot of problems , specialy with her legs, but also toher things and when she come to the hospital, she cannot eat, because everything sting for her, but she always would find some new friends.

that would be 3 days. when i gave birth to a baby girl.

lol..that would be exactly 24 hours, when I gave birth to my son. I absolutely hate hospitals and the atmosphere so I was out of there as soon as they allowed! My son needed blood work exactly 24 hours after he was born so I had to stay till then. We were dressed and ready, he went down for his blood work...then we were on our way home :-) Keep in mind that I wouldnt have left if we both were not healthy but everything was great...so I was out of there!!!!

I spent four days in the hospital because I had a tooth that abscessed and the infection went into the soft tissue of my face. The whole side of my face was swollen and I looked horrible. My eye was swollen shut. Not even the nurses would look at me. My youngest daughter wouldn't talk to me, my middle child asked his dad if they had to take me home. The thing was once the infection left my mouth, I felt fine. I was bored and restless in the hospital. They kept me on an iv drip that didn't help. I saw four doctors. Three just said they didn't know what to do. One doctor finally gave me steriods and it went away.

My longest stay in the hospital is 1 week. At that time I had an operation to birth my baby. It is a nightmare and I don't want to experience the same.

Hi Rozie37! It was a long time ago and I remember that I was confined to the hospital for a week because of Typhoid Fever. I was 18 years old then and I drank water from a contaminated water reservoir in a rural area where we had camping. After a few days, I was nauseous and having loose bowel movement continuously and was dehydrated. It was a good thing that I was rushed to the hospital because the doctor said that another day of dehydration and the bacteria inside me, they might not be able to save me. It is the only and last time I went to the hospital and I hope I wouldn't be going back there anymore. Take care and have a nice day.

My longest was 18 days... I had my leg cut off by a forklift and they did several surgeries. When my mood got really ugly, they let me go home, but I had to go back 3 times for more surgery. The next longest was 5 days with pneumonia, and the next was 4 days with an intestinal obstruction. I don't plan on ever going back... I've had enough!LOL!

My longest stay in hospital was when I was pregnant with my oldest child. I had terrible morning sickness and couldn't even get out of bed. I was in for 6 nights. Wasn't my only stay either, I had to go back 2 more times, but only a couple of nights for these. I've never had a real medical problem (like being pregnant isn't enough!)and never want to have to stay in hospital again. Even with 2 of my babies, I was home the same day they were born. The other 2, it was too late in the night for the doctor to release me.

My longest hospital stay was about a month and a half when I was two years old. When I was two, I had my arm and leg run over by a tractor lawn mower. Needless to say, it had left my arm with severe nerve and muscle damage.. not to mention many cut pieces of bone. my leg luckily only had damaged nerve. They wanted to amputate but my father fought for them to try and do something. Luckily, one doctor said he'd try but there were no gurantees. Good thing he did because today I can do almost everything I would have been able to. I still don't have feeling in two of my fingers, but I can still write and play sports and anything else I want to with my arm. I think the scars make me unique.

The longest time I spent in the hospital was in April of 1997,I caught high fever which finally caused ACUTE NEPHRITIS .I have stayed in hospital for one week ,after that my hands have been swollened.It was very uncomfortable.

Hi Rozie, when I had my Kids I stay in the Hospital about a week, that was about thirty -two years ago. now when Women have babies they stay in the hopsital now time, the Hopsital try to get you out of there fast, unless you have complications. I hate needle too. I hate them with a passion.

The longest I ever stayed in the hospital was for 7 days, a week. It was when they were trying to figure out what was wrong with me. My insurance had denied the request of my doctor to send me to the Mayo Clinic, so my doctor told me she was going to have her own clinic for me. I checked into the hospital, met with 6 specialists, had blood drawn three times a day, had a spinal tap, 2 MRIs, and 1 Cat Scan. You'd think 7 days would have been enough. But when they released me I felt like utter crap. A migraine from my spinal tap was still with me, so I was in my room 3 days after I was out of the hospital. That was about 4 years ago.

I've never had a long hospital stay, or an overnight stay for that matter. I've been very lucky. The only time I've had to have work at the hospital was when I had Bells Palsey. It was scary. My mom had a cyst a few years ago that she had to stay in the hospital for. I missed my mama because she was in there for a few days. Thankfully, it was benign too. My mom has thyroid problems and she has to have a lot of blood work done. Do you have thyroid problems or was it something that just came up?

hi there Rozie37 yes when i was pragnant with my son i had an infection and i stayed about 2 to 3 days i took pills for it then everything was fine and plus i stayed about 4 days when i had my babies i cant believe it its has gone fast they grow up to quick

When my 2nd daughter was born she had cancer but it wasn't diagnosed until she was 13 months old. We spent 54 days straight in the hospital and I stayed the entire time (partly because I was nursing and mainly because she was my daughter). Sadly she went on to heaven in her 22nd month of life but I cherish every moment that I had with her and wouldn't trade it for the world! Blessings

The longest time i ever styed in the hospital was two weeks because my baby needs to stay in the nicu and i dont want to leave her alone there so waited patiently and we went home together. I dont like staying in hospitals that long..Boring
