"Loss and Treatment"

After finding out I was going though another loss, I got told I need to go in for a 1st lot treatment then again for 2nd a couple days later. I arrived, It was one of the hottest days of the year, when I got there they were waiting for doctors. I had someone come speak to me after 2 hours saying still waiting on doctors, but that possibly I did not need start treatment today. 3 hours later doctor came spoke me, all I need to do was fill paper work in ready for the following appointment. The 5 hours I was waiting was not even offered a drink, I did bring a bottled water by myself but had finished that.

I rang the Tuesday to see what time I needed to be there, got there, all was really good, told I need to fill more paper work in due to testing, which I understood. We sign this but also told about armaments after the testing to then be told that's not offered at this hospital, it's another hospital where the test will be carried out. Which if was not for speaking with another staff member we would not know this.

The treatment started, which I knew would take a while, some of the staff were incredible & understanding, another member of staff came to see from different ward who had been helping us during the last few years, they asked if we had been offered a memory box which we said no, which again should of been due to nature of us been in the ward, the treatment was still going along. We were waiting for confirmation of if the treatment was complete, this was told to us just after 10 pm and we ended up staying in overnight, we had not been spoken to by any doctors other than the morning of the when filling in the form.

The following day we were told I would be able to go home if urine was OK, but if still was not at 2 pm my partner left thinking I would be home later on that day. At 5 pm ish I got told need do one more sample and be possible allowed to go home. I was still in pain so still having pain relief. 8 pm came, I had a nurse come in to say that the doctors are doing their rounds so they will come speak to me if I can go home. At 10 to 11 the doctor came in to speak to me but due to the pain and urine sample I was having to stay in a overnight again to see how I was. As they did a examination there still active bleeding. So said need to see how I was overnight and possibly need a scan again to check if the treatment was fully completed. I was still suffering pain overnight and also urine sample was still not right.

In the morning I then was admitted to ward for more testing, my bloods where done, urine sample done  and again waiting to find out what was happening as was said I would need a scan.  Just after 12 pm I got spoke to ,I had UTI so was given antibiotics, that bleeding I had was normal so no scan needed. I was told I would be allowed home that day, I still need to keep using the bed pans to make sure everything was OK.

At 4 pm I rang the bell as I was out of water and for my sample to be checked, 5 pm I finally got a jug of water fetched in. The nurse came in at about 5:15 pm with some more pain relief to say they still waiting on my tablets but I was allowed home. My obs where checked just after 8 pm again at 8:50 pm the nurse came in with my tablets to say I was allowed home , but I was not given a discharge letter as no doctors were on the ward. I was told it would be emailed but still not received this & that possibly able to get more pain relief if still pain I know I could ring the ward.

So I went home at 9pm, was still struggling with the pain. The next couple of days I was in a lot of pain so I rang ward again to be told come back in. I took so over night things just in case , when got there I was given pain relief right away because of how much pain, the doctor came spoke to me asked me all my history and was incredible, definitely could not fault this doctor, they then did an examination to again say still active bleed & quite a lot.

I was then admitted on the ward again , having pain relief the doctor said they had requested a scan for asap, still had keep weeing in the bed pans , on Sunday still waiting on scan they don't do scan on a weekend.  Monday morning the doctors come around to say that they are waiting for my scan to find out what going on and told should be anytime, someone then came in to speak to me and explain that if scan show some tissues still that there will treatment medical or surgical,  which if wanted the surgery they explain what would happen which put me at ease knowing, told if want surgery not to eat after lunch.

Went for scan just after 4 pm, which they confirmed that there was still tissue there, I was allowed to eat tea at just after 6 pm then not to eat after that and stop drink at 5 am,the surgeon come in to speak just after 730 am to fill in paperwork and I should know what time the surgery be soon, the doctors came in to speak to see how I was, they asked them to chase things up as I had been in since Saturday,  then went down for surgery at 250pm on the Tuesday.
