@beffybadbelly Ah the curse of Tuesday! My friend and I always swear that whatever we plan to do on a Tuesday it will just end up with the 💩 hitting the fan
@ChapmanDoctor@DrEilidhMaria Agreed I was working in the post had before my current one (as an appointment booker), was an IP with sepsis for the 3rd time and was asked by manager ‘you’ll be back to work in 2 days right? Don’t want to trigger sickness protocol do we?’
@stomababe That comment drives me nuts. I have cerebral palsy that affects all 4 limbs, it doesn’t get in my way much. What really affects me are the 2 stomas that people can’t see or they think they’re easy to deal with… erm no!
Can anyone give some advice please. Whilst I was in hospital for surgery I asked the physio for a frame around the loo, so I can use it, I have Cerebral Palsy.
I rang the equipment company to chase things. It turns out a referral needs to done by the district nurse! 🤦♀️
@DoctorOstomy I believe that if your current colorectal surgeon does the referral then you may not go to the very bottom of the list. I think it depends on what’s written in the referral.
Hope that makes sense, I still feel quite anaestheticy 2 was post op, sorry x
@beffybadbelly I hear you, so much right now! I’m in hosp post urostomy creation on 14/10, have had an ilea for 3 yrs. had my 1st ‘solid’ food jelly yday. Pt across from me asked if that was really the right choice for me, WTF
@beffybadbelly Hari & The Gang do some really nice T Shirts and hoodies. They don’t tend to catch a picc line when I’ve worn them with one in my arm.
@beffybadbelly I was with them I had issues too, not sending night/leg bags. I rang the pharmacy dispensary attached to my GP. They immediately switched me over to @Charter_UK who’ve been excellent. I’m England so process may be different in Wales.
@Jax87539443 I hope the cramps and mucus eases soon Jax. I’ve had the same thing this week, sending you lots of virtual heated blankets and soothing vibes.
Is anyone else having trouble ordering online from @Charter_UK today? I’ve put my order through twice and haven’t received a confirmation email, just ended up with 120 items in my basket, help!
I utterly condemn the far-right thuggery we have seen this weekend.
Be in no doubt: those who have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law.
