from now on

well it had got to november my partner was desperately ill, and needed to be on dialysis, so the operation was planned, i had a bad back at the time it was killing me, but when i think about what he was going through how could i dare moan, i think at this stage we will give my partner a name rather than keep writing partner, so we will call him jack, (i am not using his real name, so if anyone out there called jack has been through th same then it is all just chance) so we took him to the ward in the morning, we had a letter, be there for 7.30 am to get your bed! we were there just before 7.30, and no one turned up until 8am! so jack had to sit on the floor, he was too ill to stand! they told us to call the ward at 7 to check the bed was available, we could here the phone ringing through the locked doors of the ward when we got there, so its a good job we drove up when we did, as no one would have answered until 8am anyway! how pathetic is that! his op went ahead in the morning, when they wheeled him away i cried my eyes iut(so god knows how i will be when it comes to the transplant) when he arrived back on the ward he was very sore, and he ws still very shakey, he had been shakey for a couple of weeks, as he had a very low heamoglobin and had no iron stores left? so was having iv iron too, but then he got so ill he was addmitted to hospital and was given a blood transfusion, to try to build up his red cells, it was all a bit of a nightmare if i am honest, he couldnt even walk to the bathroom, he was so ill, he was like an old man lay on the sofa, he didnt hardly eat or drink, its like he was wasting away, thankfully they did sort him out, but what annoys me is that they let someone get to that stage before they do something, maybe if he was monitored closer, ie, having his bloods done more regularly it wouldnt happen, we ring up to ask if he can have his bloods done and we are asked why? well if we dont then you wont ask and the next time he will get them done is when he is at deaths door again, but go regurlarly if there is a problem and hey the nurse says"are you stlking me or what", hmmm what compassion!
