I'm really afraid of not coping when I'm left alone in the hospital outside official "visiting hours". A number of reasons but the main ones are: 1. extreme medical phobia and 2. issues to do with a childhood sexual assault - my partner has given me amazing strength and support with tests and with the nightmares afterwards. I can't imagine going through any treatment without him at my side at the best of times (let alone at a time when I may be physically and emotionally battered). So I am terrified about what happens when he's sent home.
I know Swindon hospital has a high perentage of single rooms (I don't mind paying). Does anyone know if they are flexible about partners staying on outside official visiting hours if you are in your own room? I understand it's not practical in a shared ward because of privacy issues for other women but if you're on your own anyway and nobody else is affected...?
