I asked for assistance on my third day on Summerfield ward. I had two students that looked after me. One of them told me I would get a blood clot because I did not put my stockings on which I told her were too tight. The second explained the risks associated with not wearing the stockings and she measured me for new tights which were bigger and explained why it was important to wear them. This student was lovely and explained the risks with my reduced movement whereas the other student made me feel like a failure as a mother because of my reduced movement. Not the kind of assistance I need as a new mother.
