Not Doing So Good.

[lilstar]

I'm not in a great place right now, as in mind set.

When I woke from my surgery I didn't realise I never had any underwear on.
I went to theatre wearing some they provided me with, and I was not told they were going to be removing them. If I were told I could of prepared myself a little bit.

This may seem like i'm over reacting, but it's causing me some unwanted anxiety :goingtocry:
If I were told I could of prepared myself alittle bit.

Just tell me i'm being stupid I'll understand.

Lilstar,
You are NOT being stupid.silly goose!!!! It's bothering you and you were not told so why wouldn't upset you? If they gave you them before and did not mention they would be removed, how would you know?

Now, if you are worried because without knowing the "situation" you may not have had all the privacy you would have expected and are concerned about what the hospital staff may have "seen". I assure you as a nurse myself, no matter how devastating it may feel to you, they never even gave it a moments thought!

I am not sure if I did follow exactly what you were troubled about and as such kind of tried to figure it out. I hope I was on target about your concerns.

The last thing I might suggest ONLY if you think it might help YOU, is to let the Dr know that in the future they should really tell the patients before that those garments given will be removed and explain, that not having known this before hand for you was distressing.

Well I hope this helps a bit.:rolleyes::hug:

Hi Lilstar,
I can only agree with what WW has put. It is quite reasonable that it is troubling you.
However on a positive note, I would assume this is worrying you now because you are actually feeling better physically so maybe have stopped worrying so much about that? Like you transferred your worry.

And just remember all the worrying you did before you went in..... where has that gone?
You've done fantastically.
Keep your chin up!:thumbsup:

Thanks WW and Brucielucy,

I'm not gonna try and explain it right now as I know I'm not gonna make much sense tonight.
ARGH, I'll come back to it when i'm feeling alil more together.

I would be mad as well. I would imagine it made you feel vulnerable at a time when you already had alot of stuff going on. Hope you're ok x

I think it was insensitive of them and they fell short of "First do no harm".
I hope you feel better soon :hug:

I'm sorry you awoke in this state, no matter the reason. It's difficult feeling so vulnerable. :hug:

Hope you are feeling better.

Sending better thoughts and your favorite scents,
