Yet more angst ....

....... does it ever blinkin' well end!!!!

Anni aka BikerBear here .. reporting for Alma.

Didn't go to the hospital today but telephoned Mum - she's not a happy teddy and has had "words" with one of the nurses.
Seems young Nurse Golightly (not her real name but all I could think of) came round with the drugs trolley just after lunch dishing out drugs .....

Mum asked for a ranitidine (they are on her drug list) - for those that don't know they are for reducing stomach acid (seems that lunch was a bit "abrasive on the tummy today" - lol) -

young Nursey refused to give her one saying they are prescribed for 6pm .....

Mum pointed out that she need it then not at 6pm - still a refusal - Mum then said "oh for goodness sake, I've probably got one in my handbag I'll take that" - shock horror!!!

Nursey then insisted that Mum's handbag be locked up, Mum refused.

Nursey then said she would have to go in Mum's bag, take out the said ranitidine and lock them away ...

... ermmmm ..... I don't think so!!!

Mexican stand-off .......... Mum won - yay! for Mum.

It seems that they are quite happy to send Mum home (at some point) with a bottle of liquid morphine to self-medicate but they are not happy for her to have a drug, under supervision (that can be bought over the counter) 5 hours before her drugs list says she can have it!

The mind boggles ............... well, mine does anyway.

Mum's original title for this photo (last year) was ....
" Friends that might never have been "

We have come to discover that blip has given us both just this - without this site you are all friends that might never have been - we are so happy to have you in our lives (even if it's our virtual lives) and for the kindness and positive thoughts you are sending us - thank you all so much.
