My dad is in ninewells has been since having a laryngectomy. When I called about 10am I was told that he had been moved to a side room but was still getting watched and looked after, he was up and sitting in his chair. Now I arrived at 3. 45 to visit and found my dad in his side room still in his chair to be told he been there since 6am, the TV in his room is broken and no other TV in room. We asked for him to be moved back to his bed as he was wanting a sleep and was shattered. Had to ask for another TV to be brought in for him. Which when I called at 7pm nothing had been done. Left him with my tablet with Now tv and Netflix. He was drifting in and out of sleep within 10 mins of being back in bed. I know the nurses/doctors want him up and moving about but come on have some compassion about it. Major operation left in chair no TV, feel like he been put in there to help himself to cope but there is coping and then there is wrong.
