Camellia recovery house
I'm a pretty laid back person. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I'm finally writing this review bc I'm feeling better. Guys STAY away from this place!!! I got to the rh on us day the 13. The house is nice. The problem is that the person running it doesn't give two craps about the girls!! So Sunday I get there I have dinner and get settled in. Monday am I had to get up early since I had to be at cipla at 7am. Carli the owner/whatever she is doesn't even get up to offer me coffee or a slice of bread. Mind you, you will be at cipla all day. I didn't get back to the house till about 630. I was so annoyed bc after being at cipla all day I get back and dinner wasn't even ready. Not that it wasn't ready but she wasn't even planning on cooking!!! I needed to go pick up a few things so she decides that she will go with me to buy something to cook. It's pushing 730 and you know you can't have anything after 8pm. Finally we get back and she makes shredded steak salad white rice and black beans. Nasty nasty nasty. All I ate was the salad. Tuesday comes around surgery day and again she doesn't get up to see me out or at least say good luck, nothing. Had surgery and got back to the house Wednesday afternoon. Finally I meet the "nurse" who I find out is not a nurse at all. At this point I haven't dealt with her bc my cousin stayed with me that night so she took care of me. Thursday comes and my cousin leaves in the afternoon. So now I get to interact with the "nurse". She was really helpful but no gloves didn't wash her hands so I would constantly ask her too. Fri comes and I confront Carli about what's going on. I ask her where is the nurse, how come she didn't tell me that there wouldn't be one. The food was nasty nothing that she sent in the email I could order bc they didn't have it. She starts going off about she is dealing with some issues and for me to give her till Monday to work things out. I got so angry bc here I am with no nurse to take care of me what if something happens? She tells me that she would know that to do if something happened. So I tell her I'm not comfortable with that. I've worked I. A dental office for 15+ years that [RS bleep] does not make me a dentist. She tells me that on Sunday a nurse will be here at 1 so I say fine. Sunday comes no nurse Monday comes no nurse I confront her again and she says she cancelled the nurse since the helper so called nurse told her that I was leaving.
I was so pissed I told the helper off and Carli off. There was never going to be a nurse bc no one wants to do business with her. At the mention of her name everybody already knows who she is and refuses to come to the house. The massage lady that came only came bc gabby the helper asked her too. I ended up leaving Tuesday am to armonia. Thanks to Mayra who helped me out. I was broke and in so pain and stress over this whole situation that mayra took me in. Before I left Carli did give me some of my money back and I was able to give it to mayra even tho she said I didn't have to pay. The moment I got there to armonia everyone was wonderful!! All I could do was cry!! They took me to my room and got me some pillows and I cried bc of it. The care that they give you is real!! The food was slamming and Ruth is great with her massages!!
Do not stay at camellia you will not get the care that you need!!! Carli even went as far as to say that she has more important things to worry about. She told me this after I called her ass out on her sleeping all day and having this poor girl who wasn't older than 20 take care cook and clean for two Girls that had surgery!!
I hope that if anyone is considering staying there really think about it. Again aftercare is so important and you won't get it there. Btw I did call Duran and spoke with her to let her know what was going on and she was furious!! So if you ask Duran she will tell you not to stay there

My review
Ok ladies so here are how things went down for me. Monday was crazy. Ladies be prepared to wait. I got to cipla at 7 and did not lave until 5. This was just to do my test and blood work. Elizabeth cracks me up. She is just so easy. Fania was great too. Ok so Tuesday comes and there were four girls. I was number 3. Duran does the easiest surgeries first. I didn't go in till about 3ish. I remember drinking the blue pill and laying down. After that I don't remember much. I did wake up during surgery and heard a guys voice. I did hear durans voice after telling them that I can't breath then lights out.
I slept till about 12 am then got up to ask for pain meds. They gave me something and I felt better. The nurses were nice. I had two of them. I did need a blood transfusion. Two bags. I felt so much better after. When they put the faja on it wasn't that bad. They haven't closed it yet. I have a follow up with Duran on mon which I'm hoping I can get my drains out by then.
I don't feel pain just soreness and laying on the bed on your back makes you super stiff. I can start getting massages on sat. I'm looking forward to those.

Made it to DR
Ok so I'm here!! My flight from NY was not bad. Uneventful which is great lol. We got to DR a half hour early. I was really nervous and cried from the moment I had to say bye to my baby and husband to the moment I got on the plane. So they do give you some papers to fill out while on the plane. You want to have those ready for when you get off. Make sure to get the 10 tourist card then proceed to get your suitcase. I was a little worried about checking my bag in for fear of not knowing where to go to get them but it was easy. Once you get your bag you'll go through customs I went out pretty quickly gave them the paper and she stamp my passport and was on my way.
First I was scared bc my phone wasn't working but thank God that Jose was there to pick me up. Really sweet guy and no he does not drive crazy. Didn't really see a lot of that.
I'm here at camellias nice place cute def not armonia but Carli is really sweet and welcoming. It's feels more like a friends home than a recovery house. Right now I'm the only one here. My friend will come and stay with me tomorrow and Tuesday when I go in for surgery. Carli is making lasagna now lol it smells good.
That's pretty much all for now I'll update tomorrow when I go for lab work and I pray to God my hemo is good!!
