"Fracture/dislocation ankle"

I was transferred from west Cornwall hospital to treliske after having the above injury manipulated. I went to A&E and was admitted after 10 minutes. I waited for an Orthopaedic Dr yo come and see me and from there was admitted to Theatre Direct I was told for an operation the next day. Early the next mmorning I was seen by the anaethetist and surgeon who explained the procedure etc to me. I went to Theatre at 9am where everything was explained once more. All the staff were excellent. The nurses work very hard sometimes under pressure but always with kindness and professional care. I was seen after surgery and the surgeon explained what I had had done. Seen the next day by physio and OT who were efficient and provided the equipment I would need at home. The physio tried to organise an ambulance to take me home as they assessed it was needed. After being told it would be 1pm the nurse rang again at 3pm to be told it would be 6pm pick up. I was concerned as my Husband who has Alzheimer's was then home alone and needed medication. The nurse rang st 6.30pm and was told 8pm. At this point my family decided to pick me up and had to carry me in. The card at Treliske was excellent but the transport was terrible. No communication to let the nursing staff know of delays was unacceptable. Since being home the early discharge team have been brilliant too.
