A very late 7.8 FBG this am
Meds, pain, poor sleep, who knows
A bit of a lousy day.
No hugs required, slipped into COG mode .
(Cantankerous ol' g*t )
Think steptoes dad, only less sartorial elegance.
Getting dressed still a major palaver.
You won't be far off
Wake up 10h ish Carers arrived, and in kitchen.
(One boss, one training ?)
Say hello, tell em, I'm not getting right now
I'm all meek + bleary eyed .
Poor night, only a few hours sleep
Low on meds so tried to eek them out
(My bad )
Really at a low ebb
Need another prescription
Requested on line, but as not on my usual meds
Had an inkling all wouldn't be plain sailing
So as say in bed, with chaps making tea,
I called docs, to check
Explain recent RTA.
A few fractures, need to renew pain relief meds
Mmh.
Seems not..
"need to speak to or see doc.
No appointments available.
Have to call at X time in Morning or Y time in afternoon "
" Ok, but when I've done that before either can't get through or slots filled.
Is it not possible to get doc to call me at some point, I'll be here a day, seems a simple task, over in a few minutes, tops ? "
" No
But if You need to speak to doctor
I'll book an appointment for you....
.earliest is End of Feb ..."
" Scuse me, end of WHEN !
I can't wait until then for pain relief
"
Explain I'll call back at Y time
But call has not been helpful .
Trying to remain polite I prepare to hang up
I can feel the frustration rising
At which I get the chipper reply
" If it's urgent, You can pop into surgery "
OMG....RTA, several broken limbs, struggle getting from bed to front room, I rant .(..and so on.)
Not my proudest moment
But I get a shift in Response and promise of doctors call this afternoon
Hang up, let out scream of frustration, forgetting Carers here
Chaps come in, a little frit hearing me transform from drowned kitten to raging bear .oh dear
Sympathise, as they couldn't help hearing the conversation.
Joking say they are leaving before I kick off again ..
..droll guys, very droll
Call came, (thank you) doc prescribes + sympathised) apologised.
Why it takes a shout to get heard, I don't know
Thinking back, after taking all my info I assumed perhaps wrongly some basic data might be in screen..such as recent RTA, but realistically probably not.but I had explained injuries
After, I'm full of remorse & anxiety over the moment.
I didn't want to be that guy
But I ended up being just like him
Stupid, stupid temper
Stupid stupid system
Let's hope tomorrows a better day.
Appointment at nearby hospital.
Had physio appointment last week, switched to zoom due to mobility issue.
no zoom at appointed time, so call up , get apologies no one told anyone ..so chap does one over the phone right there & then..cool
Then next few days i get email saying I got discharged as didn't attend appointment I'd changed
Called to chase tomorrows one up, zoom or in person ?
Mmhh don't know ..just turn up
Mmh .still a major effort getting anywhere, but going with a hope & a prayer, will update
(Physio + no pain meds. How Nice
)
