Wed 6th April

Arrived early today ,bumped into the Nurse/Practioner "Khalid" he says he will be along shortly to examine Lindsey. Shortly turned into 1 hour and 45 mins. Lins is starting to fret,"why isn't he here yet,I'm never going to get out of her you know"!.  When he does come its all good news,he checks Lins over and is happy to let her go home. He does however emphasise that we have to be very vigilant should she get a temperature or infection. The charge Nurse says she will organise her discharge for later in the afternoon,they cannot specify a time.  I dont care how long it takes Im  just ecstatic that we are getting her home. After lunch we go to the day room and watch a DVD to pass the time, "Brigitte Jones the Edge of Reason". A secretary pops in to say transport has been organised but wont be till around 4pm we are just watching film when at 1.45  the ambulance transport has arrived ! The nurse has yet to change the dressing that was to be changed  at 12pm, so they have to do it rather quickly before the ambulance people decide they have waited long enough,another example of the inefficiency and lack of  continuity on this ward..Once Lindsey has gone with the Ambulance people I collect her medicine etc and then go home to wait for her. Today is just the best day its been 7 long weeks but at last we have Lindsey home where she belongs .
