She is home and it went better than they could hope because they didn't have to take any of her hip bone! She told Micca her scar looks like something from Pirates of the Caribbean!

She had the op late this afternoon. So late that they're keeping her in overnight but they expect to discharge her sometime tomorrow. I've just got back from the hospital and, despite being connected to about a dozen tubes and hoses, she's amazingly chirpy - but I think that has something to do with that handy little morphine button she keeps playing with.

I've just heard from Micca. It has been done, that's about all he knows at this point. She was still in recovery when he spoke to whomever (I think he said it was her at about 730p?) Apparently, it was done sometime in the afternoon. So at least that big part is done!

Better to be in the waiting room waiting for a bed than awaiting a call to leave.

The first call saying don't leave till we confirm the room is empty caught me when I was ready to leave, but it takes me an hour & 2 buses to get there I said, wait, they said.

So I eventually arrived after staff had left for the day & it was mid morning the following day when I was finally hooked up (they had said I'd be hooked up at 7am when day staff arrived ... did I say our hospitals are understaffed?) & I sat around reading & knitting, waiting for the machine to blip, but nuffin' happened ...

They said stay overnight again until something happens, but I was booked in for 2 days & couldn't stay the extra night cos I had commitments on day 3, so I went home, which meant the test was inconclusive.

Had I been waiting in their waiting room ...

I can't imagine what you mean, Mary. Are you suggesting I have been anything less than sweetness and light whilst I have waited for this verdamnt thing to heal? Me???

Anyway, thanks for hanging in there with me,dear friends, just heard from the hospital and they have asked me to go in tomorrow on the basis that it's easier to fit me into a bed if I am actually on the premises so, all things being equal,I should be welded and braced by this time tomorrow.

Non-emergency? A broken collar bone that won't heal?
A splinter in the finger - YES. A hernia - yes. Even a hysterectomy for non cancerous reasons...but a broken collar bone?

Micca. I am far more intimidating when I am quiet and determined and seething. Works wonders on self important ward nurses. Doesn't hurt to give the impression that the next time they see you your pals from the hospital Board of Directors will accompany you.
Not talking about getting special treatment but a civil answer. Jacqui had one try to
dismiss her without a simple and courteous answer. She was dealt with very quickly and efficiently without ever raising my voice. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Morticia seems OK with her treatment. So we'll just continue to wish her speedy care and healing. Poor Idris. By now he must be a candidate for sainthood.

The NHS is great at dealing with emergency cases but sadly non-emergencies usually end up being put back repeatedly. I needed a small op which was forever delayed so I ended up going private and got it done within days. Sadly, private ain't cheap, and when you've paid National Insurance for years then there is an expectation that the NHS will look after you in a timely manner. Good luck Morticia and I really hope you don't have to wait much longer. In fact, isn't there a new Gov't target for surgery waiting lists, after which you can go private and get the NHS to pay?

Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall while Jacqui and Mary "explain" to the surgeon why it would be a good idea to pull his finger out and get on with it (Jacqui's admonition to "get on with it" from the Mummers play at the Getaway are still ringing in my ears), I have been having colleagues looking at me funny for the last halfhour as I kept laughing at the imagined dialogue !!!(or should that be "Trialogue")between them and him.

I posted a note on Facebook saying that if her Docs couldn't get it right, Cletus is real handy with a welder which makes sense since he knows a lot about both inert and active gases.
