Not having seen my GP for 15 years, and never been an inpatient as an adult, it came as bit of a shock to find myself passing blood in my urine, pain while trying to pee, and complete lack of sleep.
So I made an urgent appointment to see my GP. He passed me over to A and E, and then I spent a couple of nights in my local (small) hospital. It seems I had a tumour in my bladder.
Sent by Air Ambulance from Orkney( where I live) to Ward 44 Aberdeen Royal Infirmarmy where i spent 8 nights and a lot of tests etc.
Staff were brilliant from start to finish and now I am home. Awaiting the results. Scary.
Thank goodness for the NHS.
