Well it’s been three weeks since op no one district nurse Macmillan nurse doctor has been in touch my husband is fully incontinent I eventually after ringing round spoke to incontinens and they said he’s been assessed and pads would be getting delivered today he hasn’t been assessed and shock the pads never came I asked wen he would see consultant was told when he gets a letter? I asked why is he in pain in his legs back and private part again was told they didn’t have a clue guna ring back Monday it’s not exceptable I wish he could change hospitals as have no faith in the one he’s under long story to go into but my daughter last year passed away in there and we were told phnumonia it’s only getting medical records we discovered it was sepsis and they wonder why Ive got no faith and up to now there proving nothing has changed with the way my husband is being treated and lied to

    Hi

    I am so sorry to hear about your husband and the poor care he has received. I am also very sorry to hear about your daughter. That must have been very hard. 

    I don’t know what the normal care plan is after an op like your husband’s. I do know that the nhs is tricky to find your way around. Often, the hospital is in charge of the surgery but the GP is supposed to take over the after care. So for example, I had a hysterectomy for cancer five years ago and needed dressings changed and antibiotics for a water infection and it was the GP who helped with this bit. Have you tried your GP? 

    I do hope you get some help soon
