Today's update.... Sally went in for the ultrasound but is yet to learn of the results. It has been a bad day for her. She was originally shifted to a ward with a TV only to discover there are no facilities for lifting her out of the bed via a hoist so she was shifted back to the original room which has no TV. This happened near to dinner time which really got the catering company in knots and so she ended up with no meal and i needed to head out to the nearest Red Rooster to buy her some dinner. This is no surprise for the catering company, they are utter dimwits. It was always going to be a bad idea to privatise the catering. The tender process involves up to three companies and the rule is the one with the cheapest quote wins the deal regardless of level of service, or if they have minimum level of service then it is about time they raise the standards. This particular company can barely cope with normal dietary requirements, but when it comes to special needs such as needing gluten-free foods this company simply cannot cope. We have lost count the number of times they messed up on Sally's meals, either bringing her unsuitable foods, or foods that she did not order, or some other kind of mixups. They make such basic dimwit mistakes as cooking a salad!! Even I know that you do not cook a salad!! But it is the kind of dimwits this company employs, they don't know that you don't cook a salad!! The last time she was in hospital I was forever bringing her my home cooked foods due to the catering company's poor service, and it looks like i will be doing the same this time around.

Let's hope tomorrow will be a better day for her but i guess it will depend on the scan results if they indeed are available tomorrow. It is rather concerning that she won't be in a room with a TV due to lack of hoisting facilities. The last time she was in hospital she was able to go to a room with a TV and hoisting facilities so not sure what has changed since then. She will go crazy with boredom without a TV especially if she is going to be in there for a while, and she doesn't have ADHD like I do, I simply could not cope without at least a TV. Let's hope the doc will see how crazy she will be without a TV and force the issue a bit to find her a room with a TV. The nursing staff often make decisions to suit their own conveniences rather than patient welfare but the doc can override their decisions, he just have to be convinced that her mental welfare will be at stake if she doesn't have a TV.
