A readers of this blog will know for weeks now I have been wondering how i'm going to get someone to arrive to collect me after release.
Well last week got a call from the surgoen's receptionist telling me the hospital stay is usually between8 to 10 nights. However I don't need to have someone collect me.
She was ringing to confirm my postal adress so I could get the documentation I require (a.k.a. my pre hospital instructions)
She even rang back about a half hour later to confirm that I didn't need someone to collect me post surgery.
Not at all .......
It was too good to be true. Of course there is a catch......
The hospital requires the name AND number of someone who will not only collect me upon release, but will be responsible for me..........
Responsible for me ? What's wrong with me being responsible for me?
Isn't the mere fact that I'll be 1800 miles away from home, enough ?
Apparently not.
The doctor wants to see me a week post release.
So now I've gotta find someone to care for me, interstate ...... for a week, or get someone to make a return trip and go back meself a week later. Or just stay down there in someone's care.......
That's gonna be bloody real easy! ROFL

That sounds really frustrating whybother! I hope you manage to get it sorted. I wish I could help in some way.

I've posted this once but it disappeared!
