cooee and g'day from me. * hugs * sprite
12:32 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend. How are you doing today?
12:33 am
grannyrose
actually surprisingly well. slept through to 7am last night, and that was after a 1 1/2 hour nap when i got home.
12:34 am
grannyrose
how are you traveling honey?
12:34 am
sprite
ah wonderful! You needed that. Hospitals are not good places to rest up.
12:35 am
sprite
I am okay. Rob and I are in a better place, we understand eachother a lot better after talking through the whole birthday thing. Very tired though.
12:35 am
grannyrose
* wry grin * especially when the doc writing up your drug chart decides you don't needs ANY of your pain meds, and that includes panadol osteo.
12:36 am
sprite
wth? How did that happen? Your pain doc needs to send them a letter, honey. For all the next times.
12:36 am
grannyrose
it takes a lot out of you sweetheart. emotionally , and physically.
12:37 am
grannyrose
i don't know how it happened but you can bet your life on me getting some sort of answer from the surgeon. not happy at all.
12:37 am
sprite
yeah it does. We need to find that home, move, and get settled. Then, we can organise some support for cleaning, shopping and maybe even walking Nero.
12:38 am
sprite
it is close to criminal, rose, to let you struggle without pain meds. I would be so incredibly pissed!
12:41 am
grannyrose
and i told the anaesthetist that i fight the drugs. she just said oh yeah. then afterwards she came into recovery room and said " you wouldn't stop wriggling. i had to dose you three times before you lay still. "
12:42 am
sprite
oh for crying out loud... will they never learn to listen? Make sure you let them know and make it part of their dossier on you. Or you will have that every year.
12:42 am
grannyrose
the nurses did get me and endone order, and the doc apparently wrote me up for when necessary tapentadol ( quick release ). yup. i was royally pissed off.
12:43 am
sprite
you should be. And please do not let it slide. Because you know you will go there every year for this, and you don't need this added pain and stress.
12:43 am
grannyrose
presumably i will have the same anaesthetist next time. but you are right. i will remind her every year that's for sure.
12:44 am
sprite
yeah and also do it now, in writing. And insist they add it to their files.
12:44 am
grannyrose
oh i'm not letting this slide at all. i will have answers, and they had better be the right ones.
12:45 am
sprite
awesome. Tell them if they don't start listening to you, I will have to come and set them straight. And trust me, nobody wants that to happen :D
12:46 am
grannyrose
roflol... oh pleeeeese. do come over here and straighten them out. can i watch? please?
12:46 am
sprite
absolutely. And we will bring Don to help them clear up the rubble afterwards ;)
12:47 am
grannyrose
the mind pictures are killing me...
12:47 am
grannyrose
so who gets to mop up the blood?
12:47 am
sprite
hey, they can do that themselves. Hospitals are supposed to have cleaning stuff for that.
12:50 am
grannyrose
the whole thing was a joke, but not a funny one. after fasting me from midnight (which means no breakfast), when i finally returned to the ward i found that the nurses had forgotten to order my lunch. so i sat there until 2pm when i did the Rose thing. Got myself dressed, packed my bag, then went down to the nurses station to ask for my discharge papers.
12:50 am
sprite
you totally rock. But omg that is horrible.
12:51 am
sprite
what did they say?
12:51 am
grannyrose
there was a nurse there who made the mistake of asking me did i need help. at which point i burst into tears and said i just want to go home.
12:51 am
sprite
awwww darling. And then?
12:52 am
grannyrose
you see, sprite, on the Wednesday night my youngest boy (man) was involved in a car accident which wrote off his car. he's fine, some pretty bad bruising from the seatbelt, but that was all.
12:53 am
sprite
thank God it ended like that. Tim had the same thing three weeks ago.
12:54 am
grannyrose
then Thursday morning we found out the other driver had died after he was transported to hospital. and all Josh couuld say "i want Mum. I need to talk to Mum"
12:54 am
sprite
oh that is bad! And of course he needs his mum.
12:56 am
grannyrose
you see, it was peak hour. there was alane full of cars waiting to turn right, and when Josh turned into the main road, the left and middle lane had cars in them. so Josh moved over. then this twit of a driver decided to do a blind u turn through the traffic. Josh had nowhere to go.
12:57 am
sprite
yeah, it happens like that. Nothing you can do about it.
12:57 am
grannyrose
so there i was, stuck in hospital, quite well enough to go home, knowing my son needed me. i was desperate.
12:57 am
sprite
and underfed and undermedicated too.
12:59 am
sprite
sidenote: no pacman, no meme, enable is so behind the times
12:59 am
grannyrose
well that too. it's amazing i didn't lose all self control. i could have just walked i guess, except all my meds were locked in a drawer, and i needed the nurse to unlock it. not to mention i still had my IV bung in my hand.
12:59 am
sprite
did they realise they had dropped the ball?
1:00 am
grannyrose
and so ends my tale of woe. now i just have to wait for the pathology results. that will be another week. i have already made my appointment with the surgeon.
1:01 am
grannyrose
if they send me a feedback request they will get both barrels.
1:03 am
sprite
and if they don't send you one?
1:04 am
grannyrose
i will check out the web site. pretty sure there is a link there for comments.
1:07 am
sprite
fireflies. Poofing with hugs, darling. Take care.
1:07 am
grannyrose
oh just a side note.... i requested to be admitted to a different hospital but the receptionist at the surgeon's rooms made a mistake and booked me into this hospital. next year i will insist on the hospital i had chosen initially. i just wanted to get this done and dusted, so i didn't object too loudly.
1:07 am
sprite
ah, good. Not going back there then. Great.
1:07 am
grannyrose
* hugs * honey. i hope you have a good day.
