bit of a nightmare at the minute has been for a month it started with having to wait eighteen hours in a&e next to a drunk foul mouth guy in one side cubicle and an old women screaming all night in the other side, then being moved to majors2 right under a speaker blast out request for wheelchairs etc etc porters for another twenty or so hours so me my sister and my eighty two year old mom sitting in chairs next to dad none stop for that time period .. then about ten o'clock at night the day after he came in .. they got him in a temp ward ..
so we spent three days going in their seven hours a day , then he got moved as he had caught a chest infection so another week in that ward where he got moved again because he had caught c.diff which made him bed ridden .to another side ward for a week ,with us spending all day their each time.
then I get a call saying he's coming home in four hours ..and had to manhandle their double bed down stairs on my own and strip the front room to turn it into a bed room . and rush around to get supplies . they would not let me go get him but was ferry home . and dump on my sofa still almost bed ridden .. then got messed about with meds and antibiotics had to spend about an hour chasing it up then took them three hours to final send meds .took them a week to send discharge paper posted (second post would you believe)
so having to sleep on the sofa next room to be available to help him go the rest room and all that .. while trying to arrange district nurse. equipment, physio ..food .. so yeah now he's got a bad legs from a new tablet and needs more antibiotics.
and now chasing doc for other meds final got a doc to home visit tomorrow or Thursday .. so yeah not great at all ... pretty shitty to be honest ...![]()
