Blaines dad Ken had been in for a double hernia operation on Wednesday morning and wad released late wed afternoon he seemed fine was in a bit of pain nothing to bad, yesterday he was in a lot of pain but battled through it. Then this morning bout 40 mins ago Blaine text saying ken had been took to hospital. I just got off the phone to him ken had gone to the toilet and on his way back to bed saying he felt a bit dizzy then collapsed, Blaine woke to his mam screaming for him coz she couldn't wake him so after a few times shouting at him to wake up he did come round and they phoned for an ambulance they took his bp it was something over 30 Blaine couldn't remember what it fully was, they don't know if its been lowered by tablets he is on after the op or its internal bleeding do we play the waiting game now

I feel awful for Blaine he couldn't go with his dad coz he had to open up at work and he's in a bit of a state I hate not being there for him

The hospital don't know whats wrong with him so they have sent him home surely blood pressure doesn't drop that low for no reason

That seems crazy they'd just send him home because they "dont know what's wrong"!

that it was just some freak occurrence.

If he's still not feeling well i would get the Doctor out. What's the needle in his arm for?.

I've heard a few bad reports about SS General, but having said that my niece was a nurse on the stroke unit there and she loved her job as well as the hospital, but not every nurse has compassion

Oh how frightening! Many for Ken - and for all.

Is the needle for sub-q fluids?

How frightening that must have been. It makes me uneasy that they just sent him home...I guess they gave him fluids to raise his BP? (Not trying to be scary, just would've rathered they kept him for a bit.) Please tell them to make sure he stands very slowly and has assistance with walking. I hope he is feeling better soon.

oh hon, I just read your thread as well...how is he doing?

I doesn't make sense to let him out of the hospital twice like that, and with a needle in his arm to boot. I could understand if it was a port for further medications, but that sounds like an IV needle that they forgot to take out. That is just not right!

Many prayers going out to him, Blaine, you and everyone. Keep us up to date.

I only just came accross this thread, oh hun I'm so sorry. Hospitals in the UK are rubbish now since the flippin government changed and it seems once you are over a certain age its like pah you're too old for us to care, makes me sick, its like they can't be bothered because the government have made so many cuts to the nhs, anyway I won't get into politics I really hope your fil feels better soon, please keep us updated.xx

I'm so glad he is feeling alot better, so you should take things further, people get away with too much these days. When dh's gran was ill, she had been ill for a lon time and the week before she passed away she went to see a consultant who thoroughlly examined her, the lady was clearly ill and dehydrated amongst other things but he sent her home and she passed away the next week due to gangrene developing, I for one believe that if caught earlier she would have still been here. Definetely do not take this lying down.x
