Well life can be fraught can't it?, my daughter has been wearing a plaster cast on her ankle for the best part of seven weeks,  on Monday when she went to the hospital to have the cast removed her expectation was very high!, she had made plans to do all sorts of things, but of course that is too easy, they took the plaster off and did an x-ray and found that the bits of bone that were in her ankle when she first attended the hospital were still there, necessitating an emergency operation tomorrow, she will then be in plaster for six to seven weeks so it is start again, the prognosis is a 50% chance of it succeeding but the chance has to be taken, but I want to know just how we got to this point, from one nurse and three doctors telling her that it was a soft tissue injury!, to this consultant saying she needs emergency surgery, it just makes you think do hospital employees have the slightest knowledge as to what they are doing, it has been suggested that the word care has gone from the vocabulary of nurses and doctors, if it has may I suggest that they find a dictionary and look the word care up then they might just keep on the right side of the patient who of course in all of this is the most important factor, I pray that all will go well for her, will add to this on Saturday.
