They don't listen and they don't know what they are doing. The surgery the 10 hrs . I was fine in the step down unit over night but the nurse the next day got me up to sit in in the chair and didn't realized there was a problem with my catheter - I say there for a few hours swelling up until I was having trouble breathing And my bladder was full- she couldn't see me because had the curtain pulled - in the end someone else got me up and a whole bunch came out - then she pissed around with the catheter all day saying it was daring - yeah but that was only when I was standing - I had no pen or paper offered - she called urology - to take a scan - they arrived immediately after i had stood up - and been drained - of a litre of urine! Then the girl said there was only 25 ccs in my bladder - no shit - I'd just had my bladder emptied - seriously - if you think there's a problem with it change it - it's - a 5 minute procedure - I have an iv in my foot a cast on my arm - a trache in - I can't speak and then nurse wonders if I want try and get up to try to go to the washroom when I need to and - i can barely stand finally - after
Messsing round for 7 hours she changed it!!! Then last night - something happened to my trache - i think it bumped
My NG tube I've into my left lung - the nurse argued with me - I was having trouble breathing - I wanted her to call the dr he asked for an X-ray - she suctioned and it helped a little so I slept until the X-ray tech came - then I needed to be suctioned again and the NG bcame balled up
at the back of my throat and I freaked the dr finally came up and removed it -but they weren't listening to me - not that I could talk I was trying to right all the time I couldn't breath properly. then he tried to put it back in today - giving me a glass of water and a straw and telling my to swallow - hello - If I could swallow believe me I would my tongue is swollen and stitched - it kept getting caught in my trachea - no shit!

I had one can of something milky yesterday and that's it and they wonder why the have to poke me 6 times to get blood!
They are idiots here!!!
