Bad News I Am Affraid

[trout]

Bloody good effort Fulvio, Good on You :wavemulticolor:

I spent 3 months in hospital when I was 16 with a gloved forearm and know just how Kimmy feels being locked down in hospital when you are quite capable of limping around outside.

A smile on a dial can be more powerful than penicillin at times.

Keep up the good work Mate :good:

[Robster]

Kudos Fulvio, may your adventures continue and the mirth be loud and rambunctious.!:yahoo:

[Fulvio]

...the mirth be loud and rambunctious.!:yahoo:

It needs to be to drown out the old bloke next door.

Nevermind the dinner I heard she was living on secret chocolate Yogo's!!

Indeed she was.

Pity that Goldy's visit today was cancelled due to her going home last night. Now I'll just have to pop round to his place and help him eat that box of choccy's, eh?

Hey!  What's this?  Kim has gone home?  Just for the weekend or for good?  

Thanks for all the updates Fulvio and Goldy. We'd have been in the dark without you guys. Go Kimmy!

[Goldseeker]

Yes, Kim has gone home but that is a different story.

I am now sitting at home, contemplating the mowing or some minor house maintenance instead of getting ready to visit Kim in hospital with wifey in tow.

In regards to the kit kats/chocolates, they will serve as after dinner mints at a later date.

Get well soon Kim and trust that all goes well for you.

sounds like a quick discharge?
but typical  .... on a Friday

there is an unspoken ban on Friday discharges but the doctors don't take any notice of sensible things like post discharge services not starting on Saturdays

The big bold 'Against Medical Advice' on the forms pretty much said it all. I think they ran into The Wrath of Kim and simply surrendered.

The argument is that a bed is a bed, and apart from the occasional pill and a bit of physio that is locally available in a brand-new centre, the incarceration didn't offer much. Certainly not the food or the friendly service. :diablo:

Goldy, you can't use Kit Kats as after-dinner mints. Cos you know, they're not mints.... best I come round and eat them for you. Save you committing a faux-pas. :angel:

[robbiegal]

I would strongly recommend against a discharge against medical advice if this is compensable matter
if anything goes belly up they will claim that the applicant caused further or problems for their recovery etc etc. (IYKWIM)

it does raise the question of active rehab and many pts early discharge because for example, they might sit around all week waiting for just one special appt or something

whereas they could be at home recovering in a more conducive environment for healing esp. psychologically and then they can still have that special appt. in say, a rehab outpatient service or a community health centre or even have domiciliary physio at home.

anyways, the pt makes the decision ultimately and obviously our patient has made the call

[Australian coin]

yes I had had enough, no results, no help, FA medial help. (how would you like to spend 19days in a tiny room with no where to go and nothing to do) not to mention the waiting time for the loo - 40 min. it was pure hell, I am so much happier where I am now, I get to see daylight, and eat good food, go to the loo when ever I like, I got to sleep thru the whole night! I even got a hot water bottle that worked great I could move my arm for the first time without pain this morning.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me, all the get well messages, the things that came in the mail made me smile - it was the kindness and the only distraction from the needles, and meds, and nurses prodding at you that I had, and the people who went above and beyond to visit me, truly amazing people, without your kindness and help I would have been utterly alone
