Home today
I kept my identity, and my camera, hidden. Daughter and SIL did not wanr me to make a 'fuss' as the nurses might be 'unkind'. I had to abide by their request, but it hasn't stopped me firing off a letter of complaint to the Chief exec, won't improve matters but makes me feel slightly better.
SIL comes home today, I was worried about this, but talking to a senior nurse about it made me feel slightly easier as she said that he would be safer at home, less likely to acquire other infections!
The situation is absolutely disgraceful, and extremely worrying. My Doc has been on at me for ages to go and have an op, a few years ago I didn't feel it was necessary, now it is becoming something that I know should happen within the next couple of years, and I'm frightened of having it done. I'm not afraid of the op and dying during it, not too concerned about the pain, I'm just scared that I will end up taking longer to recover, and perhaps being seriously ill, due to an infection developing whilst I'm in hospital. I have never used, or promoted, private health care, I'm starting to have second thoughts.

It really is something that this, and previous, governments should be ashamed of in all respects. I hope that SIL recovers soon. I think that he's certainly no worse off being at home, and probably a lot better. |
