Home yay !!!!! Bloods showed no sign of infection. Tootsie's been re dressed and I'm being referred back to the vascular outpatients.
To add to Renal outpatients and Urology outpatients , I won't know whether I'm coming or going soon:D
I know I've said it before but I just can't believe this hospital is in special measures, the staff I've met on my two hospital stays, outpatient appointments and when I was worried about tootsie have been fantastic. Today the nurses kept me informed of what was happening , results of tests. So tomorrow I'm going to write a nice (iPad put , key review, ) letter thanking them. The department was very busy but they had a smile for everyone and went the extra mile
 
So pleased for you getting home Ljc. And very refreshing to hear such positive comments about your hospital experiences.

Good news, glad the staff were helpful.

It was the same with me last night went to see the consultant at 6:45 pm and actually saw him, staff were friendly and he was great explaining what was going on and to be done. The rest of the hospital could learn a lot from his team, even better was within minutes of me arriving I was in with him and all sorted and back out, within the free period of parking charges.

Only for 30 mins as they allow that time to pick up and drop off people, after that its pay for it.

&@%!
Had podiatry appt this morning, the great unveiling showed my toes are worse, Looked black to me. Told The NHS Podiatrist L, all what happened at the hospital Wednesday and that I'm being referred back to the vascular dept also that I'm not feeling well and BG are higher.
He did a Doppler test, the Sounds were not as good as last week :( and foot felt warmer. On closer inspection he said it looked like I had blood blisters, but it turned out they were dry inside, which he said was good. I've been booked in to see a specialist next week and have to keep the dressing on till then. I was advised to go straight round to GP for anti Bs and he would contact my doc in the meantime.
Which I did , at reception they had heard nothing. I am now waiting at home for a phone consultation.
 
Bugger! Hope they get your naughty tootsies sorted out soon.
