"Gaeny operation"

I recently had a 10 day stay at the hospital. Vaginal repair with possible hysterectomy as an NHS patient.

I had operation on a Monday, the following day I had to ask if I had had a hysterectomy. There were complications and on Wednesday a scan showed I had an internal bleed. I had to go back into theatre after staff had done a day of operations. I was woken at 9 ish to be told I had to go back into theatre. I was taken to ERU at 2am. My husband had received no information about what was happening, I had gone to theatre originally at 6pm I asked a lovely theatre member to contact him and I was able to speak to him too.. I was well cared for in ERU for 12 hours. I did not receive any real information about what happened in those hours.

I asked 1 week after discharge when I came back for catheter removal. Being told it was all routine? I am contacting my consultant about this. Most nurses were caring. I did feel i was left to suffer on a trial without catheter when my bladder wasn't ready yet, nurse did not arrive to do bladder scan.

Catering. Mostly really friendly staff. I am gluten free and was really struggling with excess wind following 3 general anesthetics and a laposcopy. Vegetables included brocolli and leek wind inducing. Breakfast: I was offered a choice of cereals, cold toast, stodgy porridge the only thing that looked appetising was fruit salad, my doctor said this was not good for my windy tum. Physio asked me about having something cooked. I said nothing had been offered, I assumed as I was nhs patient this was not an option.eggs, toms and mushrooms would have been so nice.

On my original form I had said I struggle with anxiety which was picked up on as I was admitted, however I also had said I was going through autism diagnosis which I have now received. No one asked me about this, how it may affect me, pain levels or communication. I have separately contacted the hospital regarding this as I need to raise autism awareness.

There was definitely issues autistically, but the best part was individual ensuite rooms and a window that opened.
