Baxter's mum
Tried to get on here last night but the stupid hospedia internet access wouldn't allow it.
i spent the first night on hdu which as ok except major itching started due to the morphine. 2nd morning moved up to enhanced nursing area where the nightmare began. have never felt so alone or upset in my life and made to feel like a trouble causer because i needed my pain releif sorted out. was left in horrible pain most of the day then they realised my canula had fallen out. disagreemements between different staff about which pain meds i was meant to be on with conflicting advice resulting in me being a crying wreck who was then ignored apart from being reminded how some people on here have bowel cancer.
now i'm still supposedly enhanced care but in a room on my own. more upset today about them wanting to take my drain out when the doctor on ward round specifically said keep it in for rest of day. He also thought i should have tried food by now but i was only on sips.
theres just no communication on here. my buzzer kept going off all night and they said thats because my canular was in a dodgy place, on my wrist. not my fault. but made to feel bad. i daren't ring for any help because they're so busy. just moved my room around so i could unpack and plug in my laptop. the pain in my side is pretty bad and the port keeps leaking but it wears off once i've sat still for a while.
will probably read this back in a few days and laugh at how miserable and moaning i am but right now i just want to get home.
