Current Mood -Too Hot & Grumpy
This is an actual photo of me staring down the Universe and politely requesting it gets a bloomin move on with our house sale. And whilst I think about it how about people doing their jobs quickly and efficiently, perhaps the Universe could help a little with that? I can't fathom what has happened to people's intelligence and work ethic. Sorry this is turning into a rant. But honestly so much of this modern world drives me mad.
I'm grumpy because I'm too hot and things I'm trying to get on with are D-R-A-G-G-I-N-G. A nice wee trip to Norfolk is planned and a wonderful place to stay has been found, the itinerary has been researched and drafted for maximum seaside fun and joy. BUT I'm waiting on one of the folk coming with us being granted leave from work, it's been almost a week and I'm stressing we will lose the accomodation. Not their fault just the slowness of their employer's internal machinery.
My husband got a call this morning from the hospital his poor Mum has been in for four weeks. It was the pharmacy there asking us what medication his Mum is on. I couldn't believe it, she's been in hospital all this time, has she not been taking her tablets? And why are they not looking at her GP's notes or calling the surgery, or perhaps just ask his Mum? When the Mr asked the response was they don't link up with other parties, not even the hospital the pharmacy is in.
I'll be back dear reader very soon with a much nicer post to make up for my grumpiness. I do hope you are all managing to keep as cool as you can, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Enjoying the heatwave in Penrhynside, Llandudno.

I'm definitely getting your rant and grumpiness, Jean! The Universe can do so much better! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeful it will
DeleteI have been reading about your heatwave Jean - I do not enjoy the heat either. That is quite appalling regarding your husbands mother. That the Pharmacy have not linked up with the hospital is terrible. What if one was giving her medications that interacted with others. I find that a very behind-the-times scheme of things. I hope you get some cooler temps soon. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Julie
DeleteThank goodness it's set to cool down from tomorrow! House selling and buying is such a slow process, you would think it would be faster now that people can communicate in so many different ways.
ReplyDeleteIs't it stupid that hospitals and GP's don't link up, the same thing happened to my brother in law and my mum when they had spells in hospital, doesn't give you much faith in them does it?
Hope you MIL is ok.
Thanks maggie. I don't have any faith in the NHS systems now at any level.
DeleteOh dear ... things are not going well, so I get your need to have a rant!
ReplyDeleteHowever your last image ' Enjoying the heatwave in Penrhynside, Llandudno' did make me smile :)
All the best Jan
I'm glad she made you smile. i thought it was very sweet.
DeleteOh gosh, I feel your pain on every level. Buying and selling houses is a nightmare at the moment, which is crazy when there are so many people desperate to buy and move.
ReplyDeleteWe have now, with her Doctors and the nursing homes permission, put a complete ban on my Mum being taken to hospital for anything except a genuine emergency ( a fall from bed or such). Last time she was sent to hospital without her, the nursing homes or our consent by an emergency doctor who was just covering her own back, we went through the whole rigmarole of never knowing what ward she was in (and in one case which hospital, they moved her without telling us), all the phone calls from staff asking us questions about her, and the final straw was a physiotherapist ringing to see how far Mum had been able to walk before her admittance as they wanted to get her moving again before being sent home!! She has been bedbound for over six months now at the nursing home. It seems that no notes are shared, which is crazy isn't it when everything can be online.
I hope you get the holiday sorted out, it sounds as though you really need it.
Your experience sounds worse than ours. The NHS has descended into chaos and it doesn't seem to matter how much money they throw at it. I can't understand how things have got so bad.
ReplyDeleteOh...my. Seems like things are not so very much different "across the pond." I do hope the Universe takes heed of your ire and irritation. You've been waiting far too long. And the business with your MIL is ridiculous. But, unfortunately, it's a ridiculous and unfortunate situation not confined to your part of the world. Hope things improve posthaste.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend, hope you are hale and hearty
