Sue's Blog - Some assembly required.

Carry on nurse......

So, having made plans to venture into the wilds of Folkestone tomorrow, I received a phone call from Glenn.
From Glenn in the hospital to be precise.
Sigh.
He had gone back there at 5am because he was in so much pain, sweating and generally feeling awful.
He must have felt rough to be up and about at this time.
They had decided to keep him in.

As soon as Lauren was home we all set off for the hospital.
I immediately collared a nurse who looked to have some sort of authority and asked what the dickens was going on.
She said he had a nasty infection, was being given aggressive antibiotics intravenously and was being observed. He might need a CT scan.
Glenn told me that when he spoke to the doctor when he arrived , the doctor asked what antibiotics he had been given on his discharge over a week ago.
After being told that not only did he receive no antibiotics but he also was sadly lacking in the discharge letter department.
On hearing this the doctor then started to mumble and didn't seem to want to talk about it any more.

The ward he is in now is grim. No TV, no phone. The hilight of his day was being able to tell us that the intravenous liquid he was receiving went....
Drip/drip
Drip/drip
Drip/drip
Drip/drip/drip.

I have since been told that they may have to put a drain into his wound.
This whole saga has not impressed me. I asked for a blanket for him as he was cold and only had a sheet.
After telling me that one was on its way...........it never arrived.
I shall see what tomorrow brings.
