After the consultants said I could come home a nurse and a physician associates were in my room and I said thoughtfully

Do I need to see the physiotherapist?

No, they cried rudely, you can already walk about.

I got the impression they thought I was trying to waste time however at 6:30 or 7 pm after the physiotherapistic gonna home one of these women came back to my room and said

How do we know you can walk up to your front door ?

Hoping I didn’t send like a teacher talking to a five-year-old child

I said there is only one step and there is a handwrail.

Then how do we know you can walk up your stairs?

There seem to think I should wait over the weekend until the physiotherapist came back and they denied that there were any stairs nearby that I could walk up and down although I know that there are because when I broke my wrist they took me there and showed me how to walk sideways

I thought to myself I thought some more

I don’t think they want me to go home and now I’m beginning to realize why there is such a long working time in A and E with people waiting for beds in wards.

I began to feel like a character in one of Steven Leacock s short stories h

He goes to have dinner with some people and never manages to leave and eventually he dies while still with these friends

Finally I was able to leave in the middle of a heavy dome full of Rome rain and I had no coats only a thin cotton dressing gown so I got very wet and cold and the next day I got a viral infection of my chest and I felt more ill than I did when I was in the hospital but since I could not take my cat know my husband’s ashes nor my best friend being in an isolation ward was quite tough especially when a nurse put a cannula into my right wrist when I said don’t put it in there I’ve got rheumatoid arthritis

I think legally she committed an assault it will certainly very painful and I have never thought anybody would say something like that

I have screamed and she said it didn’t hurt you you’re just pretending to be hurt.

Then when I appeared to be distressed she said coldly

You are not distressed you are this wee XV pretending to be distressed

Should I try to get a job as an actress?

Most of the nurses were very kind but they don’t have enough staff

In 15 days I had one wash with hot water and I did not have a shower although I tried to wash my hair but

I have been wiped out since I came home but hoping for improvements soon
