Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 OOOhhh. My mother-in-law worked in a thermometer factory for a long time. The glue smell was awful. Those were the days before OSHA and the smell would know me out. Yes, you are right though. We do what we do to survive and pay the bills. Hope you have a good day tomorrow. We have a new minister and it is Father's Day so it should be an interesting day. Both our daughters are grown. One is still living at home while she decides what she wants to do with her psychology degree but she is out of town so it is just me and hubby.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Ach, we're a welcoming bunch I know what you mean about things not being explained. I ended up in hospital last year with neutropenic sepsis (where you don't have enough white blood cells and can't fight infection) I was sat in A & E most of the day and given a private room late in the evening. Private rooms aren't the norm over here, so when I first went in there I thought woohoo, aren't I lucky, a room and a bathroom all to myself. But I had to have the door shut and the nurses didn't come in that often and I was peered at through the door. NO ONE told me that it was because I was highly at risk of catching further infections, which is something that I would have understood, instead I was left scared and alone with very little information until a nurse realised why I was upset and sat and talked it all through with me. That was all it took! Anyway, this is a great place to rant about your problems and share your little triumphs.

Private rooms aren't the norm over here, so when I first went in there I thought woohoo, aren't I lucky, a room and a bathroom all to myself. But I had to have the door shut and the nurses didn't come in that often and I was peered at through the door. NO ONE told me that it was because I was highly at risk of catching further infections, which is something that I would have understood, instead I was left scared and alone with very little information until a nurse realised why I was upset and sat and talked it all through with me.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Ach, we're a welcoming bunch I know what you mean about things not being explained. I ended up in hospital last year with neutropenic sepsis (where you don't have enough white blood cells and can't fight infection) I was sat in A & E most of the day and given a private room late in the evening. Private rooms aren't the norm over here, so when I first went in there I thought woohoo, aren't I lucky, a room and a bathroom all to myself. But I had to have the door shut and the nurses didn't come in that often and I was peered at through the door. NO ONE told me that it was because I was highly at risk of catching further infections, which is something that I would have understood, instead I was left scared and alone with very little information until a nurse realised why I was upset and sat and talked it all through with me.
