Poor Rach, I hope she soon feels much better.

What a dreadful hospital experience, sadly it does not seem to be unusual these days, a family member here has suffered very badly and has been urged to complain.

Get well soon xx

I had the District Nurse come in for a few days, after I came home, to dress my 'War Wounds' and take a couple of stitches out.
Get well soon Rach.

Hi All
Just spoke to Rach again.We had a few chuckles ,but she told me off for making her laugh as she is still too sore and has a pus oozing from one of her Keyhole sites.Her GP who she had to see is disgusted with her treatment and has also told her to put in a complaint.Rach's Mum is staying with her as Rach's OH is working .
She has a bladder infection too and is now on a massive dose of antibiotics.
Poor Rach :-(
She says thanks for thinking of her.

Dear Jane

Hello


Would you please pass on my very best wishes for a speedy recovery to Rach.

Glad she is home. Much better than at the hospital.


Take gentle care
Very best wishes
Elizabeth, EOS

<3 <3 to Rach, glad shes got it over and done with and hope feeling less sore and resting.

Oh poor Rach, do give her my love when you next speak with her Jane. x

It can't be comfortable up there on the ceiling Sue .Glad you have come down now :-D :-D

Ah...thanks for explaining that. I'll come down off the ceiling!

You are right, nothing like your own bed :-D

Sue I think she was in Recovery for the seven hours.( not totally sure).She had oxygen for 24 hours as her sats were low.But just being on a 'trolley' for that length of time was painful for her.(those trolley's are very narrow) and blooming hard :-S :-S.
At least she is at home now in her own bed(which is always the best place)

Jane, when I had my shoulder operated on I was booked for a GA and had an allocated bed for overnight if needed. Luckily I didn't and escaped a few hours after the op.

How could they release her from post op care into a bloody corridor? Were they performing obs there? If so she didn't have her dedicated ward nurse did she?

Absolutely atrocious care.

Sue it is disgraceful isn't it.I was going to say unbelievable but no ,sadly it is believable.As you say a bed should have been available after a GA.I think there were a few other problems too :-S
I will pass on everyone's wishes to her when I next speak.I had hoped to go and see her ,but my son has the use of my car every day to get to work so I am stuck :-S(KIDS :-S)

Jane thanks for letting us know how Rach is,
please send her our love and hope she feels better real soon, xx

Sending all my love, hugs and best wishes to Rach. Hope to see her back on the boards soon.

FGS Jane, that is just not acceptable!!! No bed after a GA?

Send her an extra big (((HUG))) and tell her to give 'em hell when she's better which I hope is very soon.

Just Pm'd you Ann.

Oh poor Rach, I hope that she puts in a strong complaint about that treatment. How appalling. 7 hours it must have been soon tiring and painful. Which hospital was it do we know?

Please give her my love and I hope the pain will soon ease and she will start to feel an improvement from the op. <3 <3

I just spoke to Rach.Poor old sausage is a bit weepy and sore.Her whole experience at hospital sounds dreadful.Just to keep it short.She was kept on a trolley for 7 hours after her op as there wasn't a bed for her !!!!!!.Also she was pleading for pain relief and not getting any!!!!!!!.
She had to call her GP when she got home for a prescription for pain killers.I hope she puts in a big complaint about her care(or lack of).
She is resting up now...and we did manage to have a few giggles on the phone.
I will give her a call again in a couple of day and see how she is doing.

I said I would let you all know how she is doing.

Thanks Jane, good to hear the op went well.

Hope you will soon be feeling lots better Rach and can get home again.
