I woke up at 3 am this
morning and tried to go to the loo for a pee. Impossible. My pyjama trouser's one remaining snap-on had now joined 90% of the others on
the pyjama top and could not be snapped back on. I tried to make it
to the ward loo, one hand clutched to my trousers, the other to the
electronic monitor which has to be with me at all times. My alarm
went off and I sat back on the bed and waited for the nurse. She told
me what had set it off was because my heart rate was too high. She
then got me new pyjamas and reset the monitor. Now I have a urine
bottle. We are supposed to keep mobile and be self-caring, but
electronic alarms and 'snap-neither-on-nor-off' pyjamas conspire to
keep us immobile. Just had my Serco breakfast (I have written about
them earlier) and wonder if anyone can tell me who has the privatised
contract for NHS pyjamas? I will never write about this or any other
hospital without praising all hands-on NHS staff followed by my curse
against this bankster government.
