"Terrible day care service"

I got to the daycare operation department on time at 7am on the day of my procedure and spent the whole day waiting without any update on what sort of time anything was going to happen. At 4.30 pm i was taken down for the procedure and by 5 pm was given a general anaesthetic. I was finally back on the ward by 8pm.

On the ward, all they seemed bothered with was for me to go to the toilet and so they could discharge me. I was offered some uneatable soggy wet toast and a cup of tea. I said I was still in pain and couldn’t eat the toast as it was absolutely disgusting. I was offered a biscuit as they said there was nothing else. As for the pain relief I never got anything.

I was asked if I had been to the toilet at 10pm and as I had they said I could go which I did, this was at 10.30. Two hours after coming around from a general anaesthetic not a spinal. I was walked to the main entrance and left there for someone to come and get me. I had over an hour’s wait so I told the nurse to go back to the ward so she could do her duty rather than hang around with me. So basically I left tired hungry and in pain and ended up sleeping in my car as all they wanted was me out the bed so it was ready for the next day.
