Sat 11/6.
S is coming home today and doesn't have to come back on Monday next week . Thank fuck for that . But even today they STILL couldn't help from fucking up and not singing from the same hymn sheet .
We had to wait for the pharmacist to issue , we were told , TWO WEEKS worth of meds .....which then turned into ONE WEEK. More of that later.
An agency sister was on duty . A few more readings re. temperature and S was good to go ....after seen by another doctor to formally sign her away and she had the correct meds . The agency sister came back and said that this box was the only thing to be issued .........which was codene. I looked at S , S looked at me...and we both mentioned the lock box on S's bedside cabinet." Oh yes , silly me . Forgot that . And you only get a week's worth of codene. " ......OH FOR F**** SAKE. WE WERE TOLD TWO WEEKS NOT AN HOUR AGO .........!!
I had to leave the room before I told the idiot what I thought of her . S used the word 'tantrum ' when describing me ......BUT ....even another nurse who calmed me down told S that I WAS ALLOWED TO GET ANGRY !! So , now we leave .........both of us not talking to each other . Oh , by the way .........the agency sister said that S could go home and the discharge letter would be sent in the post . More of that later next week . IT WAS THE END OF THE BEGINNING .
