These people have heart problems and they're being sent home after getting themselves mentally and sometimes physically ready :-(<br /><br />At least these postponements won't give ME a heart attack, unlike someone with a heart problem!<br /><br />Mum was telling me earlier about her friend who was admitted twice, prepared for surgery (pancreatic cancer surgery) then sent home after being told the bed was needed.<br /> <br />We have a health service, we ARE lucky compared to some places but we still have 'issues' here. <br /><br />I'm so pleased to see you btw xxxCarolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470170206537639792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-63995580922464611352010-10-06T21:59:45.935+01:002010-10-06T21:59:45.935+01:00Blimey, they really are messing you around aren...Blimey, they really are messing you around aren't they :-(<br /><br />They seem so disconnected with the build up and emotional stress that this sort of thing causes.....how can that be good for recovery rates? <br /><br />**HUGS**<br /><br /><br />Spidey<br />=^..^=Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-13565998269100900642010-10-06T20:06:42.143+01:002010-10-06T20:06:42.143+01:00Loretta,

It IS hard to stand your ground against them at times, but I'm fast discovering that practice makes perfect - LOL <br /><br />Paula, you've also had your fill lately of hospitals doing things BEFORE they think, then discovering they've caused you immense stress afterwards. <br />I'll be prepared for next time but I'm just not going to be treated as a 'rush job'<br /><br />David; 'Merchant Bankers' sounds about right at the moment :-)Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470170206537639792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-50962489451133433182010-10-06T18:08:56.545+01:002010-10-06T18:08:56.545+01:00Oh joy,

I have to pass comment as I'm...Hi to Anonymous,<br />I have to pass comment as I'm in complete disagreement with you with regard to the bowel prep. <br />It *IS* still used, so I'm not sure how you got away with simple fasting, unless you are maybe elsewhere in the world where things are done differently?<br /><br />Anyway, as gross as bowel prep is, it empties out the bowel properly therefore reducing the chances of picking up a bug in the wound area. I'd personally rather not be surrounded by tons of crap during the removal of my bum! <br /><br />As for taking antihistamines and hiding a cold, there is no way I'd want to be responsible for someone else suffering complications with their own recovery due to me hiding my symptoms from my medical team. <br /><br />My feelings regarding Enhanced Recovery is 'bring it on' and if I *need* to take supplement drinks and pre-op stuff to help that, then give me plenty of them as I'm all *for* Enhanced Recovery....but make your minds up, because it's *either* immensely important or it isn't that important. <br />It can't just all change on the day.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470170206537639792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-59867422929049198082010-10-06T15:55:31.063+01:002010-10-06T15:55:31.063+01:00Unbelievable.

Bowel prep isn't used that much anymore as it just causes extra stress on the patient, simple fasting is enough.<br /><br />I had my colon removed without any bowel prep, and without any of the pre op drinks and all was marvellous. <br /><br />If you still have signs of a cold you could take some antihistamines and that'll hide it - that's what I did. Didn't really matter as one of the surgical team was full of the cold anyway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044339197163784788.post-53092385998429302562010-10-06T12:07:03.124+01:002010-10-06T12:07:03.124+01:00Carole, I am so pleased you were able to speak up ...Carole, I am so pleased you were able to speak up for yourself.
