I Lived!
123 Answers
Evening from a quite jolly undeaf Gness.....☺
I lived...I can hear....I don't whoosh....I'm merry but did anything go wrong?.....Of course it did!
1. The taxi I'd booked didn't arrive.....took ages to get another.
2. The anaesthetist was surprised I'd never ever had surgery but I wasn't to worry about my hiatus hernia and varicose veins......I have had six operations.....and have never had a hiatus hernia or varicose veins.
3. After grumpy nurse had forced my legs into stockings....I noticed a warning...Do not use on a patient with a history of Intermittent Claudication. I told her that was me.....it wasn't in my notes or pre-assessment she said....so it didn't apply to me.
I asked for a second opinion on that so she pulled them off...threw them on the be and said...don't wear them then
I noticed on my notes she had written...Patient refuse to wear stockings....I changed that myself....to patient needed advice.
4. The recovery room...I woke to find myself talking about giving the room a makeover...black ceiling tiles....muted lighting etc....comfy sofas. Well it was far too beige.
5. My recovery nurse was kind....but kept calling me Julie....when I asked why she said she could call me Mrs S if I preferred.....I suggested Gness.
A little voice from the other bed said....I'm Julie S....wrong post op care notes on our beds.
6. Grumpy told us we could go at 4pm so we phoned our lifts but Grumpy wouldn't give us our discharge notes....she only had one pair of hands!!!
I went out to find a cool place and wait...when I returned she had had a go at Julie S....there were arguments and it took the arrival of Mr Julie S to get some action.
My notes...the ones I waited hours for say....I can swim with ear plugs...go to school tomorrow....that's all.
So I opened the letter to my doctor....very little there except to tell him I have had grommets inserted into both...EYES!!!! Honestly....
I feel fantastic....bit of a sore throat from a biopsy but nothing else except silence if I choose and sound if I choose.....xx☺
