Survived the main bowel cancer removal op on 3rd December plus a secondary adjustment op a week later - struggled to keep food down since, and have an anti sickness steel cage through my nose into my stomach - assured it would improve but after three weeks now on anti-biotics too
Most staff have been lovely especially the lady who helped get my wifi going - bar a few idiots including a patronizing male specialist who calls me son and Luv, one nurse who had to sit in with me getting upset when I told her to please switch off the boom box she fetched in with her - she couldn't grasp why inviting me to pick a tune from it wasn't enough to let her pass her time with me just doing her own thing.
One nurse gave me an NHS memo telling me visitors were allowed at the hospital as Covid restrictions were being relaxed. When I queried it as ni visiting times were mentioned staff saw that no such memo had been released or seemed to exist anywhere else - She admitted she was wrong when questioned - heard her mocking me for my concern for my mum who, not being even in the same city as me, worries to death about me - hardly a Norman Bates & Mum type relationship
Nurses who walk off mid conversation, endless promises of just be a few minutes, tendencies to ignore call for assisttance buttons for up to 40 minutes at a time - tendency to avoid tasks starting near change - over shift endings to burden inming staff with them, shrrieking equipment alarms due to doses running out or trapped lines ignored - other patients i've met, many worse off than me healh wise are great people and the support team are great, stomer training, physio, three cat scans, daily specialist briefings
