    My car is in the garage today, is making a funny noise when you switch it on, and the fan keeps running constantly.

    I dropped it off at 9am this morning, they said they needed it all day.

    The have just rang at 4.30pm, to ask if they can keep it until tomorrow, as they would like to look at it when it is COLD, er pardon, is not cold enough being there from 9am this morning, until now, she said they havent even looked at it yet.

    I need my car tomorrow, for work, and they need to rearrange a booking date, so annoyed, as we are driving to Wales friday and didnt want to risk it driving down country lanes if there is a problem with it.

    I asked if they have a courtesy car, and they said they dont have one for a couple of weeks, how ridiculous, is it. This is a Ford garage aswell.


    I have had the same problem. After I had an accident in June, this is the third time that my car has been back to the garage because it's not right. Yesterday it was supposed to have been returned by 6 o'clock but they had a 'problem' same as what happened the last time. :mad: It was returned tonight. It is still not right :mad: and the garage just think that I'm a fussy mare. Am I asking too much that my car is repaired to its' pre-accident state? I don't think so. The first time it was returned with a tyre wall split.:eek: After much conversation, they replaced the tyre (cost circa £150). After a couple of weeks, the boot well was filled with water. :eek: Went back in. Boot doesn't open when key pressed. Come back tonight, still doesn't work. Garages answer (garage is insurers' preferred repairer :eek:) can I go to the main dealer and ask what the problem is. :mad::rotfl::rotfl: It's the sheer inconvenience. Rant over.

    Thanks for the pop glitch SFSB. For some reason Coke Zero came back as n/a for me (shop done at 17:12) but everything else was fine, including fruit twist.

    Thanks too to Di for the other fizzy drink offer - delivery due on Friday :D

    Read back. Made me a bit emotional (which I am anyway at the moment!). You're all lovely. And bubbs has updated very well!

    I was always going to be admitted for one night on Monday, that was supposed to be so they could teach me how to catheterise my new channel through my belly button.

    I felt unwell Sunday, and in the night started shivering. I managed to get up and sorted Monday, as I figured I was going to the right place. Whilst waiting for my cystagram I was freezing, had to ask for blankets. Had test, went to discharge lounge to wait for transport over to other site.

    Started feeling really unwell. Bladder nurses phoned to see where I was as I was late. Told them waiting for transport but felt unwell. They spoke to nurses in discharge lounge who did some obs. Next thing they'd got a wheelchair and I was wheeled straight into A&E. Temperature of 38.4 and I cried and apologised to the dr for queue jumping (told you I was emotional!)!

    Hooked up to iv antibiotics, bloods done etc. They've still not directly told me it was sepsis, but they all started referring to it as that yesterday. Had 2 days of alternate shivering and sweating, and temp all over the place. I have a new found respect for paracetamol, had it both iv and tablets and every time it made feel human again. Haven't had a shivering fit since yesterday and temp been more stable today, so hopefully am over the worst now.

    As for the catheter. They couldn't get one in. They took me to theatre yesterday and put me under general to try and get a scope and catheter in, but couldn't. So basically the channel has failed, possibly linked to when the tube came out twice at home and whether it ever got reinserted properly or not. So at some point, I face more fairly major surgery for a channel revision. I'm not in any hurry though, I'd like to recover from all this first.

    Have felt the best I've been so far today, although that only started after another problem. Long story short my supra pubic catheter blocked. Bladder nurse did a flush and drained 1250ml from my new bladder. At least it's got good capacity I suppose! Once that was done agonising stomach cramps stopped almost immediately.

    Think that's about it. Had a ct scan this morning and the bed lost power after, so took a while to get it back and low enough to get off! They've told me it's likely to be at least another couple of days I'm in for. No visitors. :(

    Sorry for those I've put to sleep by the end of this post! :rotfl:

    Don't be silly, we all want your updates. Hopefully you will begin to feel more human. x
