DD aged 9 had surgery a few weeks ago (before summer holidays started).
When she was awake and back on the ward afterwards, she was offered a sandwich or toast to eat. She refused all options.
She has SN so food can be odd for her (this was discreetly written on all her notes including on discharge) so I asked if I could pop to the little shop they had down in Reception or the bakery.
Came back with a sausage roll and a biscuit from the bakers which DD happily ate. We were discharged the next day, after I’d been to the shop again and grabbed some cereal as DD refused the hospital breakfast.
ExH has no had his first contact since the op and is saying I was incredibly rude to turn down the food offered and I should have just made DD eat what was offered given that she does actually like toast and sandwiches and most cereal.
The nurses did not seem in the least bit annoyed by it, for the cereal I didn’t buy milk so they told me to grab some from the parent room fridge.
I’m certain the refusal was purely due to it being a strange place and her feeling a bit sore, she just wanted to control what she was eating in the moment. She’s been fine since we got home and eaten normally.
So nurses was it rude of me to get food? And would you be judging me for it?
This will come up again so asking for in future as DD is likely to need more surgery.
