Liz D Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Well done Saffy and take lots of rest. I remember my neuro surgeon smiling at me when he told me I had a 9 coils put in and told me how much they cost! But as Sarah has said, we are worth every penny and more!!

Karen Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi Joan, It shouldn't really happen that way and what a nightmare for you ..... things should be a lot different and as the saying goes.... "Walk a mile in another man's shoes" ..... Glad that the worst is now over for you and that you can now concentrate on yourself and getting stronger for the years ahead .... Wishing you well and all good things..... xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kempse Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi Joan, Sorry to hear you were having a rough time of it right up until the end, I don't think they can possibly understand what they put us through when they make such needless errors like loosing notes etc. Small errors can make such a huge difference, like the time (about this time last year) when I had a message on my answer phone to call the doctors surgery. The girl on the other end told me that they had received a letter from the hospital saying the results of my angiogram were ok. What she should have told me was that a urine sample that had been tested was ok - I received a letter direct from the Hallamshire hospital around that time saying my angiogram showed that I needed to go for more brain surgery! So I can fully understand how frustrated and upset you must have felt. That aside, I hope you can now concentrate on resting and I hope that you soon start to feel less tired. Yes, the water does take some getting down - but worth it. Best wishes, Sarah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayKay Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Gosh sounds awful. But at least it's over and you can breathe now. I feel awful about thenotes fiasco. As a medical secretary I know how many hands sets of notes go through, and how many opportunities there are to lose them. At my hospital some bright spark decided to combine the notes from the three hospitals in the Trust, without doing a feasibility study first - there isn't enough room so notes go mIssing all the time now. It's a flipping joke! And who suffers? The patients Hugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 What a nightmare Joan....cant imagine what you were going through ! So glad it is all over. Wishing you well....rest up and drink plenty....take care love Tina xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myratas Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Saffy sorry to hear that you had to go through all this, it's not acceptable at all and more so for we go through weeks of anxiety just about the operation. I am also dreading the possible of coiling to be done, hopefully in the next few months and if I get the ok but I think it will be really hard for me to go through all what you went through. Now you need to rest and have time to recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi Saffy Yes my eyes still go blurry ...ease up and then when tired or stressed go blurry again. I am nearly 2.5 years down the line....i think i will always have this now, but never say never Its very early days for you after your operation...i am sure you will improve. Take care love Tina xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi Saffy, My eyes are worse first thing in the morning and last thing at night ....they're definitely affected when I become tired... hopefully you will find some improvement over the coming weeks, if you're in doubt then mention it to your GP. I sometimes find that normal eye drops can help when my eyes feel a bit dry and blurry and restore a bit of the moisture. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
