Evening guys Come on for a rant tonight :mad: :mad:


My brother went down to see Mam this morning till 1.45 pm and me and my sister went down from 1.55 to 6.45 pm. There had been no new bleeding and Mam was mostly the same as yesterday, still chatting and eating and drinking. The main Doctor comes round on a Tuesday after 2 pm and we sat waiting to see her as we had many questions to ask, but, when she hadn't been down to see Mam by 3.30 pm, my sis went down to ask and the nurse said she had been and gone :mad:

Being so disappointed in doc not looking in to see Mam today and speak to us, my sister hit the roof. The nurse then rang the doc and came down to tell us that doc had popped in to check Mam 'just before 2 pm' and, as no more bleeding, Mam eating well, and smiling back at her, so she felt that was enough. However we have seen lots of changes in Mam over the last two days, as her colour is changing, getting paler and possibly jaundiced, so much so that her ears look like false ears, made of wax - yellow and almost see-through; her hands have lost all colour and she is keep moving/shaking her hands/arms as if she is losing feeling in them; she is groaning in pain at times; and is talking more stuff like 'You won't let me die will you?'; plus this afternoon there was more blood from her bowels


The nurses passed on all our comments and, shortly after Mam passed more blood, they called my Sis to the phone to speak to the doctor, who apologised. She has agreed to give Mam some orimorph tonight to settle her and lesson the pain, and will review her pain-relief. She said that other doc had 'explained things to us yesterday' but she hadn't, she'd just kept nodding her head and smiling at Mam, and said that they would keep an eye on her and a check on how much blood she lost :mad:


So we feel very let down by the doctor. We know Mam is not going to get better and they can't do certain things, but keeping her comfortable and out of pain as far as possible is not too much to ask, not is keeping up informed and answering our questions It was only after all this today, that my sis got the doc to give her opinion as to what is causing the blood. We asked if it had anything to do with the 'coffee-ground' dried blood sick that she was taken in with but they wouldn't explore or treat as, in the hospital doctor's own words Mam was 'at the end of her life' - this was said to me and my sis in front of Mam, several times in the hospital - why oh why couldn't he say 'because of her age and frailty' :mad:

I have some inside information....

Since T's profit drop there has been a freeze on recruitment (new staff in my store recently so I'm guessing they only take on new staff if they really really have too.) Anyway, staff levels are so low in many stores that managers are concerned when it comes to change over periods for promotions and OOD SELs etc. Promo changeovers are usually split into frozen, electricals/homeware, fresh and replent, apparently they all happen at once tomorrow at this certain persons Metro.

Just a couple of pics taken during our glacier trek. The second one is taken from inside the 4wd and you can see the "road" curving around to the right with nothing to stop you going over, scary stuff!

Ah that doesn't look familiar at all. We were supposed to go on a glacial tour thing but we stopped about half way and the 4x4 wouldn't start again. The best of it was the driver kept on banging on about how the Icelandic kids were taught in school at a young age to fix broken down vehicles as it's literally a matter of life and death out there. The driver said he couldn't fix it and called for help, HC stuck his head under the bonnet for 30 seconds and got it going. The driver had a red face for 3 hours all the way back to Reykjavik.:rotfl::rotfl:

Lol, did you get to the Phallus museum when you were there? It was quite interesting, but very difficult to keep a straight face.


I was looking at the Olay creams posted by Cosmic, but I think I prefer the soup:
