After 2 kidney stone 's (one quite larger) procedure n stent used, remove the stent 4 days as told by a nurse in 1st hospital Perth said be okay ? Maybe it wasnt?
On returning home did so.. but as being blocked by faecal matter decided to remove stent slowly warm water.. on 4th nite at home I was starting to feel server pain but the "server pain" continue.. even tho stent was no trouble removeing it.. the pain increased .. hour by hour by hour.. sooo bad ended up on the floor vomiteing with every movement..
I call Geraldton hospital after hour nurse ' on - line, said tried 000.. did so.. and I left open my front door dangerous at nite I had to. I didnt care.as time went on again I rang, told they busy in town..
After an hour, crying breathless.. pains in chest, call brother late ph. on silent ☹️ 3rd time I call 000 she was lovely understood my cry's for immediate help talking me threw my pain. I told her I wanted to die. I carnt go on with this pain its unbearable why.. I dont no?
I wanted to crawl out on the front road of my house for help. Thorts rush threw me never before whats happening.
When ambulance came I was still on the floor 'cool' on my tummy , bucket near me vomiteing still! They put an intravenis in my right arm.. but wouldnt give me ventril painkiller.. as I was allergic to few things I said its okay.. just do it.. please.. anything was better than nothing. Still no!
I was taken straight to Geraldton hospital on a stretcher each bump painful.. couldnt lie flat either side. Left on stretcher still screaming off / on in server pain.. unbearable pain. 2 policeman walked past me to another.. I tried hold my screams but couldnt pain never in all my life felt before.. wanted to die.. didnt care anymore. Too long to bear anymore.. would have been happy to have just pasted away just to be outa this pain.. wouldnt normally say that.. but true!
Somethink given another hour later but! 4 hours more pain again!! Cried heaps stressed major. Left in an emergency bed bay.. traumatised I felt like no one listened. I found the young nurse given to me rude. Seemingly ignored me and talk abruply even tho I was calm then .. but hurting. I recall the wandered around alot trying to avoid eye contact with me when I wanted ask questions. Not taken any care what'so' ever in my opinion.
Another nurse .. more painkillers but again, 4 hours pain returned as server.. wanted to lie on the cold floor.. a nicer concern young nurse started to look after me and move me to day stay.. More caring and respectful and comforted me. She got me heat packs straight away.. and a warmer blanket in a quieter area in day stay.
Wasnt long I felt I was forced outa my bed to go speak to a mental health councillar on a computer by another, in my opinion, rude young nurse treated me like I was an addic or somethink else.. which I’m defiently not! I went freely dispite my persistant bad pain..
I wasnt am not crazy ☹️ as councillar she said.. I was stressed and just in server server pain, that s all! And was cross the way I was treated! And also sent for a chest Xray? What? Why not a lower body look. Xray? The sad story to all this, it was a call for "help." unheard and felt like a no body. ( I live alone). 😢
