I have just spoken to Rubylady she had an appointment at the MRI today and was admitted to the Acute heart ward for tests. She is on a drip and is to have an MRI scan and an angiogram. She sounds in good spirits, it is a nice ward and patients ok. She asks "for grapes please" Her son has been quite shocked by the seriousness of her condition and has come home to look after the dog and the other pets.
Bed manager phoned me earlier and asked where I was! He said they'd been expecting me since dinner time. So he sent a private taxi for me. Nearly there now. If I survive dodgy eye man's driving! X
This is disgraceful. The stress isn't helping one bit. Perhaps emails to local MP, Hopital Chief Exec, GP (to complain of the damage the stress is doing), local paper, Radio 4 You and Yours. Can we get a petition up?
Not been able to get on here for a few days till it was fixed and so upset to find that you're still hanging on waiting for this to happen. It's disgraceful and I agree your MP should be made aware but that won't help you today. I hope you hear something before the end of the day - the not knowing must be so stressful and not helping your condition at all!
Just spoken to Ruby, still at home and waiting for a call. It may be very early tomorrow morning when she goes in for op the same day. I would be onto my MP by now.
Phoned for my bed and none available yet as doctors still doing rounds. Why do they say to ring at this time if that's the case. I was nice and relaxed and now worked up and not even in yet. Plus booked hospital transport and, as it says on the letter to be there for 2pm, I booked transport for 1pm but, of course they could come anytime from 11am. Now I'll have to cancel transport and use the only money I have until weekend to get in.
