Awake and up all night

Evening Gill. Hope you manage to steer clear of m.i l  sending big hugs to you.xxx

She only lives two minutes away hon, but I avoid her like the plague xxx

Thanks Gill. You don't know the half of it one night in hospital I needed the commode couldn't get to the toilet it took an hour to get one.the lady opposite me waited 2 hours just for paracetomol. I tried to protest I wasn't ready to go home. They said I would be in for 2 weeks. Got turfed out in 9 days because my obs were good.

That's really not good Sonia, and I don't know why they're so keen to send folk home when they're not ready.

I didn't allow them to do it with OH, so by the time he was discharged all his staples had been removed. He did have them in both sides of his neck besides his thigh so that could have counted. Put it this way, I made it clear I wouldn't cope until I was ready too and they stepped back.

Now I'm feeling really sorry for you though, and it's clearly not right, you poor love xxx

Thank you Gill so sorry to hear about OH pain  I felt intimidated by them. They came round in bunches and I wasn't well still on morphine so I couldn't speak up for myself. The lady opposite me told them but she was used to the ent ward she always got what she wanted. I don't blame her at all.

Hope getting turfed out early worked for you in the end. Have you got a guzzunders at home? Hope you are recovering well and your order for Muller corners has been dispatched via carrier pigeon. Sorry to hear the nurse didn't come on the day she should have. I had the opposite experience - a district nurse coming on a day we hadn't expected her. Not being able to make us here ( OH still in bed and me in the shower )she started coming up the stairs. I heard her and said " Don't come in the bathroom, I'm in the shower." She would have caught me starkers and that's a sight nobody wants.

.

I suppose it's a case of if they're prepared to listen sweetie, or if they've got orders from higher up to get patients out asap. Probably the latter.

It's still not on though, but I'm very confrontational and have never been afraid of speaking up. Maybe they can sense the barely hidden aggression and don't want a scene. I wish I'd have been with you hon, as I'd have fought to keep you in for the full two weeks.

As long as you're recovering and coping, that's the main thing my lovely xxx

Yes uki they did me a favour it gave me motivation to do more for myself. I didn't want to stay in hospital anymore than I needed but I was too ill to be sent home. I live alone so get no help apart from my son.

That made me laugh Uki xxx

Muller corners are on the way uki. Yes it would have been a sight for sore eyes.
