I'm at an Occupational Health Meeting for work, just finished and waiting for my taxi so I'm bored!!
So something that has been annoying me! I feel really protective of my CF Team, I know they're not perfect but they kept me alive for Freeman to save me and I will be eternally greatful to them for that!! I hear people complain about the ward and being moved out of single rooms and into bed bays, threatening calling the papers over and over again, it makes me sad. The ward today is a far better place than it was when I first went to Gartnavel. For one thing we had small tv's with tape players that didn't even work, now the rooms have bigger flat screen tv's with integrated freeview and DVD player. They have fridges and get snack packs!! Not perfect I know but the team are doing their best with what they have!! They have a mass of CF patients and only two little wards that aren't even solely CF wards, basically they more often than not have more ill patients than beds!! I remember well being in a single room and getting moved out of it for a more critical patient and then I became the more critical patient and always got a room of my own. Being moved is frustrating but it's what they have to do!!
Moral of this story!! Life isn't always fair, get over it!! Harsh but true.
