No companion, no visitors
1. He was anxiously waiting to hear where I was and what was happening.
2. When I was sent home at 10.30 pm, still feeling unwell, I hadn’t taken in the conversations with the doctors and so wasn’t clear about what medications I needed to take and when. Also when I returned the next morning for a CT scan it became obvious that I also hadn’t taken in the info about what I should do regarding this procedure.
I know everyone on the ward is very busy but communication with my husband would have been helpful as I wasn’t well enough to engage proper with what the doctors were saying.
