St Vincent’s Hospital Progress Report 22 December 2017

Progress Report Friday

Visited by Pain Specialist Drew who spoke to me on Thursday, and a Dr Sun.  They proposed using the 3 endone as a base. I told them the fentanyl wasn’t working so they could get rid of it.  Also the oxycontin had a question mark over it since I developed malabsorption problems.  We decided that could go as well, in exchange for having 3 endone every 3 hours.  This meeting took place in the hall way.  At one point they ask if I wanted to go home and I told them I was miserable - it was the worst hospital stay I had ever experienced. The nurse must have been behind me as from then on she was very nice to me.  At that point - about 9am I had not washed at all.

About 10:30 Mihir from Steel’s team came and told me officially that the surgery was postponed and I could go home if I wanted to.  I said yes and he said he would arrange it.

The Aboriginal Liaison Officer came to see me and we chatted for a while

I finally left at 2:30pm and arrived home at 3:30 - taken by the St V Ambulance  in a car.
