I'm in werk werk werk. I cried like a child last night with the pain in my mouth. The dentist told me on Saturday that the site has healed and anything I experience now is post extraction pain. Dunno.

That doesn't sound right, Perse! Go back to the dentist. And regardless if what's causing the pain, you should have adequate pain relief. Don't allow yourself to be dismissed.

Unlike poor Persepoly I have had a very positive experience with pain. A bit early yet after surgery but just need minimum pain relief. Discharged this morning and will probably sleep most of the day, still feeling rather drowsy.

I cannot say enough positive things about everyone who cared for me. Such kindness, respect and courtesy made the whole eposide almost pleasurable. It was also such an efficient operation (excuse the pun) that everything was seemless. This in a private hospital so I suppose efficiency matters more and it's easier to plan schedules.

But the one thing that annoyed was the self entitlement and actual rudeness shown by some patients to the staff, the impatience and condescending attitude especially to those hard working kind people who have come from so many countries to shore up our medical system.

And I am ashamed to say that the worst offenders were in my own age group of 60 plus.

Manners and courtesy cost nothing, and while pain and worry may cause a lack of sensitivity towards others, nothing excuses actual rudeness.

Thanks to all here who wished me well.
I will have about six week of enforced idleness with just healing and physio. I am blessed with wonderful family, neighbours and friends falling over themselves to help and will make use of every offer.

Off to bed now.

I've worked in a private hospital, Willow, and while most if the patients were always lovely and polite and often almost too polite to ask me to do something for them, occasionally you'd meet someone who thought having premium private health insurance meant they could demand all sorts from the staff and thought health care assistants were private maids. I remember one particular woman who'd buzz for me to come in to switch her TV over (her remote wasn't tuned in) this woman wasn't ill - she was in for minor elective surgery scheduled for the next day - and she was fully ambulant. Most of my time was taken up with some gravely ill patients who required full care so I couldn't answer her straight away. She would give out realms about how much she was paying for the service and how outrageous it was she was left waiting. A quick word from the ward manager explaining my actual role to her had to be given. But I do have to say that kind of experience was rare. I'm sorry to hear about what you witnessed. Staff tend of laugh that kind of entitlement off though.

I'm delighted all went well for you. Rest up today and take time to recover.

Does anyone want some of our sunshine ?

There are two workmen in the room next to me. Not sure if they are taking the mickey but the conversation is along the lines of:

"You tell me what position you want me in"
"There, right there now just bend forward a bit"
"Like that?"
"Beautiful"

I am afraid to have a look to see what they are doing...

Oh my good god what in the name jaysus are they 😱🀢🀮🀮? Flying ants ?

I'd walk out of there until that was sorted. That looks like an infestation. Disgusting

Sorry to hear your news, Jupiter.
Risky going to the UK at this time, you could get stuck over there if a lockdown happens.

No too sure to be honest, but the corridor has been carpeted with them and small ants too..

Can't wait to go home from Roche motel and delouse

Seriously, that's not acceptable for a work environment.
If that was your home, you'd have it sorted pronto.

Sorry for your loss JK, does the UK have any limitations on the number of people who may attend a funeral, would you even be permitted to attend if you were to travel?

It’s my cousin Karen I feel the most sorry for. In 2012 her brother, my cousin Paul, collapsed and died at the age of just 45 whilst on the cross trainer at his gym. Just three months later their mother, my aunt Marie, died of a huge stroke. She was in her mid 70s.

She'll have others at the funeral itself, perhaps a bit of time on the phone/Zoom when everyone has gone home would be of more utility, support-wise?
