"What happens next?"

I had to have an endoscopy procedure on the 7th January for rather a large prostate problem and firstly I want to say that the staff were very good, in fact absolutely brilliant. They were so caring and dedicated. It is not a nice experience to go through, but they reassured me throughout. Since the procedure itself I had to be admitted through A & E has I had retention problems and had to have a catheter fitted last Saturday. Those staff also were wonderful, and I am grateful to the NHS Staff.

The problem that I have though is that as the catheter was fitted in a rush I was discharged without knowing what happens next. I don’t know how long the catheter should be in for? I don’t know when my next appointment is? I don’t know if there is a care plan in place for me?

I rang my own GP yesterday and a receptionist but me on hold for 15 minutes to come back and tell me she thinks I am waiting for a referral to the catheter clinic but doesn’t know when or where.

I am a little confused and not sure what I should be doing.

However, that said I wanted to thank the hospital staff for looking after me.
