Today has been traumatic to the max.
They took the machine off my arm. I have never ever experienced pain like it. I screamed uncontrollably. And then I was allergic to the entonox they gave me.
They put a skin graft on this afternoon. Took them so many attempts to get a new cannula in. The donor site is huge.
The doctor asked me if I wanted to go home when I hadn't even come fully round from the anaesthetic. I said no.
Both my parents have refused to come and collect me and take me home. It's over a 2 hour journey on public transport with a 20 min walk at the other end. I just can not do that. And I have no help when I get home. At all. I told the nurse. She wrote it all in the notes and tried to reassure me.
I'm very upset at the actions of my parents. They have been so unsupportive about this whole admission. Mum said she can't be bothered with me and is doing too much.
