Re: At last!!!

Janet, what an awful time you're going through and you could do without having to fight your corner for stronger pain relief.

I hope you continue to get stronger and the pain eases over the next few days...

Thanks ladies. It turned up at 7, as 3 of us crowded round one bed to watch Corrie.

They are sending me off with paracetamol and codeine.


Hi Jazzi, when I had to make a formal complaint a couple of years ago, I found the PALS team extremely helpful. Hope yours are as good as mine were and things get sorted out.
Hope you're soon on the mend and this rotten episode can be put behind you. X

Re: At last!!!

I'm petrified I will end up on the 10 o'clock news as someone who experiences severe pain months or years down the line!

i could also end up on front pages of newspapers, telling my story, complete with a posed photo of me!!

Re: At last!!!

Well if that really did happen, demand LOTS of money for your story, then you could have a wonderful exotic holiday and be pampered all day.

Re: At last!!!

If you played your cards right .

Seriously Jazzi, when I had to do this, I was glad I had kept notes of dates, times, people involved - everything. Don't rely on memory alone.

Re: At last!!!

Yes, good idea. I'm going to insist they take a good look at the surgery site in the morning, instead of just a limited and quick glance. It's 10pm, 3 hours since I took the oxycodone. And still the pain is increasing. Waiting for another half hour to take yet more paracetamols and other stuff.
