eve Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Oh, Griff, what a saga. I know it's hard but leave next door to the police. Just phone them up every time they turn up. You concentrate on your mum, that's enough worry for now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I was told mums temp was down, they took it when I was on the phone this evening...back up to 38.9, however...the cause may have been found...the lad who replaced her cannula at lunchtime....bent the needle! I can only guess the antibiotics have gone into her surrounding tissue and not her vein Eve, I really don't want to become a nuisance to the police...he told them he was going to remove what he had put on my fence immediately....it's now 22.17 and it's still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Got dad's insurance claim started, spoke to mum who was quite upset and then I called the hospital and got the snotty sister, useless cow! Mums now on 2 oral antibiotics and 2iv antibiotics, codeine paracetamol, IV paracetamol and oramorph and is in agony....she has repeatedly asked for her swab results and they say they will check and vanish! I have asked for the Dr to call me, I don't think he is going to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Trouble is Griff, if you have staff that can't be bothered they are having a field day now as they know relatives can't come in and confront them face to face. Beg borrow or steal a hazmat suit and get in there! Seriously, I'd make a bloody nuisance of myself, I'd be ringing every hour till I spoke to someone who knew what was happening.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Suzeanna, there's a guy called Andy who is a nurse... he's really good...was the only one to tell me honestly what was going on. The student nurse was good too, she got a little mixed up but was good I have said if it continues I will tailgate someone and go in, they can get security the police etc...but I will get the answers. It's a horrible situation to be in Edited May 24, 2020 by griff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Jeez Griff, can't imagine how you cope with that. Sounds like some NHS staff you wouldn't clap for. Which was my opinion of many of them before this all started and it's almost against the law to criticise any of them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 It's very very frustrating, compounded by the fact we can't see her. Add the dynamic duo to the mix and my day is taken up with dealing with nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eve Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 We have a bird trapped behind the radiator in the sitting room.Ā We've switched the radiator off but can't either coax or nudge it to move. I sprinkledĀ a bit of food down for it on the floor and put a bit more on the top of the radiator hoping it will tempt it up later on. There's water in the dog's drinking bowl by the fireplace if it does get out. The dogs have heard it fluttering but aren't bothered by it so think it will be safe if it comes out when we go to bed. Any other ideas how to help it get free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Eve, can you see the size of theĀ bird? Should it be able to get itself out or is it jammed? If the former, the food may well tempt it.Ā Can you safely leave a window open so it can escape, or would that leave you vulnerable to burglars?Ā We did our bit for birds the other day, I'd seen someone in Chesterfield post that they'd lost their barn owl.Ā Then a couple of days later, someone else posted there was one in their garden, so we forwarded the first post to them and now the bird andĀ owners are reunited.
