I was in hospital last week for an operation but it turned out someone needed emergency surgery and I was sent home and asked to come back this week. I completely understand things like this happened and the person that came in needed more help than I did. I suffered a tear in some of my shoulder muscles and managed to dislocate all of the tendons too. My operation should hopefully happen on Monday. Since being in hospital I have unfortunately developed gout in one off my hands and it has become quite uncomfortable and painful. They’re doing some X-rays for it but I find it difficult to adapt as I’m not use to being unable to manage. The nurses are excellent and the doctors too I’ve not one single complaint at all. All of their communication skills are excellent too. The ward is kept clean all of the time and the food is excellent. I really enjoyed my breakfast and lunch today. I feel safe in terms of COVID as the staff take a lot of precautions to ensure of this. I am a vulnerable person so I do really appreciate this.
