Waited all day for a nurse to come and take my staples out. I was hoping to have a nice shower wash my hair then go out for a little ride in the car. Gave up at 5pm and phoned my dr's to see if they knew anything about it, apparently the hospital had called the wrong medical centre when they booked the district nurse, she noticed just as she was on her way, went back to the surgery phoned the hospital who eventually contacted my dr just before I did so I have a nurse from my medical centre coming tomorrow morning, I hope. OH back to work tomorrow and gigging all weekend so no chance of getting out.
Oh well at least Wimbledon starts Monday so something good to look forward to.
Great progress after my op though, beginning to feel so good that I'll have to be careful not to do too much, not that I've done anything so far, being well cared for by my OH and daughter.
Also had a call about having a wet room put in so things look like they are on the up.

    Hi Rita

    Sorry to hear about the mix-up with the nurse. It is disappointing when you are waiting for someone to appear, and then they don't come. I hope all will go well tomorrow. You seem to be making excellent progress after your op. You must be feeling very pleased, and great news about the wet room. You timed things quite well with Wimbledon about to begin. I'll be watching too.

    Joan

    Hi Rita
    She'll be here today and then you will be able to get ona bit! With the progress you're making - it's just a minor set-back! :wink:
    The wet room sounds good what is next for that then?
    Take care

    Thanks everyone.

    Yet another mix up today by the hospital, and what was it I said about Burton.

    Oh well I can now report the staples are out and my leg hasn't fallen off..... yet. :lol:

    Looking forward to a nice shower now.

    Hi Rita
    I`m glad you got sorted eventually. When the district nurse came to take my stitches out she found that there were one to remove!!! :shock: Dissolvable ones and glue over them. So I escaped that one! :D
    Sounds good re wet room too!

    Hello, Glad you are so well, the main thing now is not to do too much :) . My stiches came out on wednesday :) Only a small thing, compared to you, (carpel tunnel) but stiches across the palm of your hand mean that you can't do anything!!! Have a nice weekend.
    Love Sue.
