thanks  for your messages everyone, its so good to be in touch with the outside world again.. thank god hospitals have these tv's with internet connection as i don't think i  could last otherwise..

I miss the girls  and hubby so much it hurts and i didnt realise how lonely you could be in a ward full of people... this commode situation is destroying me too and it doesn't help when you ask for one and the nurse snaps "you'll just have to wait".  i try to get them to wheel me into the toilet so that i  can be as near  to normal as possible, but again this 'nippy' one doesn't seem to want the  inconvenience.. it makes you wonder why some people go into  nursing in the first place.. I'm hoping she's not on tonight as i don't hink I can cope with her attitude again, even  the other patients commented on how sharp/irritated she was and as i'm the most dependant here, im getting the brunt of it...

anyway, im trying to keep positive, after all 4 wks (& the extra physio days at the end) isn't too a high a price to get the rest of your  life back is  it? ill check in again soon and in the meantime i'll enjoy reading your posts...

thanks again folks, you really are a lifeline..

I had a midwife like that who used to make me use the bedpan and was a real cow. Tony nearly hit her and she avoided me when he told her if she treated me like that anymore he'd make sure she didnt work again!

Is there any way a complaint could be made about that nurse without her knowing who complained? I feel awful for you feeling that way....
