The Ambulance attendant who came to Edwin yesterday was rude, overbearing and intent on sending DB to hospital which he did not want. However......I allowed him to go, I believed he needed an xray of his chest to rule out any infection. She constantly talked over my concerns, she was not interested. The second attendant was more in tune with what was needed, I only hope she did what she said she was going to do. To say I was upset was putting it mildly........complaint on its way. I was so shattered I went to bed at 8pm and managed to sleep for almost 8 hours, which just proves constantly listening for DB or the phone has become a habit which is going to be very difficult to change
I woke this morning to a message saying they had wanted to send him home at 4am, but could not get me to answer the phone.......If I turn on my right side I am completely deaf in my left ear, would have been horrified at them sending him home.
He arrived just after 9am, he had nothing to eat apart from a piece of cake and the chest XRay showed no infection, they say he has a viral infection........so we wait to see what happens next. At the moment he is asleep, which I guess will be the p[attern of the day as he had no sleep last night.
Its one of those fine autumn mornings, sunny but chilly, I have clothes drying on the airer with the bedroom window open, that room gets the sun first, so hopefully they will be dry later.
It will be chicken tonight, I had some of it last night there is enough left for 2 meals and possibly sandwiches.
Nice that DB doesn't have a bacterial infection and hope the viral bother goes away quickly.
ReplyDeleteAm glad you'll file a complaint about that rude and pushy ambulance woman who talked over you and wouldn't listen. No excuse for that and what was up with the hospital trying to send DB home at 4am???! How illogical.
Wonderful that you got 8 hours of good sleep and hope you'll get that or more each night for the rest of the week and longer.
Hope DB could stay awake this afternoon so he'll be likely to sleep tonight so you can sleep, too.
DH has gone to see the mechanic who fixed the ac/heat in his car early last week and that had already stopped working by Friday. Might it be a fuse?
Hugs!
