I'm in hospital and have been since Friday last week. My baby was delivered by caesarian at 35 weeks because of high blood pressure and IUGR.
He's doing fine in the neonatal unit across the corridor and I'm in a single room on the maternity ward with deranged liver function tests and fluctuating blood pressure. I don't look ill or feel ill but I must be ill for them to want to keep me in.
THE BLOODY BOUNTY LADY has been round to my room every morning. She opened the door yesterday while I was expressing before I said 'come in' and this morning she did it again and said disappointedly "oh you're still here. I thought you were going home". Yeah, because you're a doctor are you? Because you're an essential member of staff and not some fucking hawker for Unilever. I'm here because I need to be here unlike you. So sorry I'm not a new patient you can get your claws into. Scrawny bitch.
I wish I hadn't given her my real details - I don't want any of their crap. I don't see why they should be pushing branding stuff at you and worming your address and phone number and email off you when you're all half with-it from drugs anyway.
Hmph.
