Another day down!!!

Comment Published at 11:5511:5520 comments20 comments43 Visits43 VisitsReport

Im knackered . In the UK its been a really hot day . Ive been trying to catch up with the housework and washing and all . What do youknow that bloody phone i nearlycut the cable it was constant ringing . Barry 90% of the time are youok what are you doing grrr. I did end up going to see the doctor i have never seen her before and she was quite nice. My blood pressure is back to normal . She was shocked the hospital discharged me without anti biotics but to be honest im nnot suprised apparantly theyu are supposed to give you anti biotics after a miscarriage because you are prone to infections which is proberly why my stomach is still hurting. She said i should stop bleeding soon oh i can hope but if its not stopped in a week i shoulsd go back. Also she asked if i needed any further help with what has happened so i told her the dr was meant to be sorting it out yesterday . So she wrote on a bit of papaer so the receptionist could make mean appointment with their councillor the soonest they can fit me in is 5th june i know its only a couple of weeks but that will drag. In the meantime she has sent me a refferal for miscarriage councelling . She aslo said it doesent really matter at the moment that i cant eat as long as i keep the fluids up .

Hospital rang not long after i got back i wasnt too polite. She said she wanted to let me know how the complaint is going . Iwas there thinking yesterday you said i could not complain WTF??? I said that is very funny isnt it ?? She played dumb acted asif she didnt know i have gone to the papers. Isaid yesterday younever believed me and you insisted all i saw was blood clots ?????? She said i told you all i could yesterday as i was going on only your notes . Yet she hasnt and wont tell mer what else she now has. Welli know for sure the papers faxed them last night with my information.

So the way things lie with them is miss gyne nurse is on nights hmm i could pay her a visit . No i wont only joking. So anyway she will be pulled into the office tomorrow evening at 9.15 and will be questioned on what she is playing at . She asked if i would like a apology from her in writting or face to face ??? Oh and im a wild one so it has to be face to face i dont think she deserves to get to write the apology i think she should be put in the heat and face what she done. Also i dont think she should work with women who are miscarrying because she has left me horrified if i was to have another miscarriage i wont go to hospital i would rather loose it down the toilet. . Shesaid ok what you have been put through is horrifying its beyond imagineable the images i am having. Funny she couldent do this yesterday . She went on about the notes again all that is in the notes is that i was loosing alot of blood and what i was given . Not 1 mention i had lost the foetus no wonder she was so keen to examine me glad i waited for barry to retuyrn it wouldd have been my word against hers. I didnt even loose clots until i was in hospital and i didnt leave until it was over just looking atthe scans they can tell i am telling the truth. So finally we are getting somewhere she is going to call back tomorrow and arrange a meeting .

Tomorrow i will be calling the hospital  to request my notesi didnt think i could only from my dr but i can request them at hospital too. See it makes me really mad . There is no written proof of my foetus so where the hell is it??????????? Just put in the bin??? My baby gone with the trash asif it means nothing well it measn alot to me . Ok so i was only 8 weeks but ittook 2 years for me to fall pregnant and it was mine still is. The question i want answered they cant tell me only miss gyne nurse can and i will ask her .

Photographer came it was horrible i thought i was going to go blind the flash was so bright . He tookabout 30 pictures why they need so many i will never know . By the end my eyes were sore lol.

Oh and guess what MY MINTI MAIL WORKS i cant believe it it hasnt worked since the big upgrade but at last its working my send button has found its home. Bless . Anyway enough waffling from me i will zip it now.

Oh i forgot but Chloe is talking too she is saying so much at the moment her favourite word seems to be puppies its so cute i could just eat her. WHOOPS puppy in the hpouse ahh better get it out before it poops everywhere they are outside until night now they love it .Ok im really shutting up now .

Luv Emz xxxx

Re: Another day down!!!

Hi Emz

I am glad to hear you are doing ok and something was getting done about that nurse. Your so brave to went to the paper to get your story told. Im glad they are going to give you an apology but it puzzles me on what happen to your foetus. I believe you that you saw it and it was not a blood clot. How DA described it and how you described it is what i saw when i miscarriage at 9 weeks. I do believe a memorial would help you put at ease with everything going on. In my situation at first i threw my miscarriage in the bin as i didnt want my husband to see. But Im so glad my husband decided to take it out and he cremated it for us when we got home (we were at my parents when i miscarried). I put the ashes in a heart shaped metal trinket box, inscribed it and buried it in a pot we chose and planted a plant on top. It now sits in my parents garden til we get our own house. Take care...

Jo

Re: Another day down!!!

Hi Jo,

Yes i dont think she deserves to squirm away but saying that they were meant to call me last night to let me know her side of the story but funny enough no call. I have to if i dont how many more women will there be being a gyne nurse she deals with this stuff all the time.Yes i get an apology and they rekon she wont be working with anybody having a miscarriage but why shouldi believe a word they say 2 days ago now i was told i could have a complaint face to face and she would call back for the time and all but ive heard nothing yet . But with my foetus not being recorded i want to know where the hell it is and i will make sure she tells me i hope it wasnyt put inthe bin thing that gets me is it was with the clots the clots went for testing so say so what about the foetus ? has she taken it out ? There were clots in the bottom and over the top of it she even pointed out to barry and i swear on my kids life and i wouldent do that unless i was sure it was the foetus. Barryu finally came out wirth how he saw iit yesterday to his mate he saw it as a manky big toe and lkike i said it was bklack and white thats not a clot i know i was in shock biut barry wasnt . I think the memorial is a fantyastic idea Also barry has dediacated mariah carey new song bye bye i think its going a bit too far but still thats fine . when he feels sad he puts it on . I hids it from barry you know its notwhat he needs to see all he needed to know was it had gone but she took it off me. pointed it all oyut to him then gave us 5 mins befor ei killed her . Now i do wish i had brought it home and burried it at least i would know where it is.

Hi Emz,

Another day, another foot forward . .  I am so proud of you, you are taking things daily and that is GREAT . .  Healing from this tragedy will not be easy but taking it a day at a time is the very best way to go . . As for the hospital ringing you, can't say I am shocked because they know that you a very strong case against them if you were to choose to sue them!

WELL DONE to Chloe and her new words . . Its amazing what they come out with . .Sumara has learnt how to say mine and she is using it for all its worth . . Seems everything in the house is hes . . rofl

Take Care honey . .  Kellz

Re: Another day down!!!

Hey Kellz,

Yep it sure is . I have a bit of a wait for some councelling so 1 day at a time is the best way to go i dont think i am going to get over this for a while so i am just going to take it slowly . Im not either to be honest thats the first thing i said funnythat isnt it dont like the mediia do you?? What they dont realise is this is only the start i was going to leave it after the complaint and the story getting publlished but seems none of it is in my noteswhich i will have proof off im just waiting for an application form to request my notes and my doc is going to call me as soon as she recxieves my notes . Im going citizens advice 21st may so i will also ask them then what i can do about this mean arnt i .

I cant believe chloe is talking its great though cos now she can tell me when Kylie has hurt hwer as i know its been happening alot lately it was a point of catchinmg her . Tonight while i was cooking their dinner they were in their room i heard a big thump and chloe cry i ran straight to her as i knew she was hurtand she started pointing at Kytlie i asked her what happeed how did you bang she said kyie nauty Kyie hurt . Finally she could tell me . kylie had shouted she fell of the bed but wheni questioned her further and she knew she wasnt squirming out of it she admitted chloe climbd in her buggy and she pushed her out by tipping it upside down . She had no sweet after her meal and she had 5 mins timeout . I hope the mine doesent come out just yet but its only a matter of time she wont be long and she be talking properly bless her such a clever girl.

Re: Another day down!!!

Sounds like they are geting their act togeather at last, but it should never have come to this in the first place. I like the idea of a rememberance garden, wish we had one here. Best wishes and hope you get some peace soon.

Chloe talking, OMG thats it, your quiet moments when Barry and Kylie are out are officially over, bless she will be sharing so much with you. Go Chloe,x.

You take care of you emmie. Luv Winnie.xxxx

Re: Another day down!!!

My very own pooh bear,

Yes i think so we will have to see if they call me tonight after she gets called in the office . Yes its lovely isnt it obviously we never had a name so it will be just stating the date and baby angel always remembered. obviously you have to pay for it but it will be worth it it was created by torbay hospital and the miscarriage assosiation it was demanded by parents throughout torbay. Peace ?? i dont think i know what that is LOL.

Yes but at least she hasnt learnt to talk back yet she only says nice things thank god. She can also say Kylie naughty and hurt so now she can tell me with actions and words when kylie hurts her or what has happened its great nothing like good communication. Such a clever girl love her so much .

Hey, hey,

I think you are doing amazing, hang in there.  I don't know what that nurse was thinking but she had no tact - it doesn't matter what was in the jar it shouldn't have been bansihed around  like that.   I think an apology would be a start for you at least to heal......

Re: Another day down!!!

I can tell you what most likely happened to the fetus, but do you really want to know? It's standard policy for hospitals to deal with that sort of thing in a certain way. They can't exactly give the fetus back to you so you can have a funeral. As for showing you the blood clots, that is a bit off kilter, fetus or not! BTW, a fetus at 8 weeks (I saw the one I lost because I found it ) is so tiny as to be barely distinguishable as anything at all, certainly not as a baby unless you have microscopic vision; and the whitish fluid sack it sits in, if fully intact, is not even the size of a small marble. Just stating that to help you figure out in your own mind whether what you saw is really what you thought you saw or not. I didn't see it so I can't help you any further than that.

I understand your hurt at your loss. Maybe having a small family memorial service to say goodbye might help give you a little closure. I did that once, but alone, by putting a little garden statue of an angel with no markings on it, as my lost child had no name, on the unmarked grave of another baby with no name that passed away about 100 years ago (found out through council records) and had probably been long forgotten by anyone still living. That grave is still there, that little garden angel is still there, and for me, it has become a little spot in the cemetary for the lost and forgotten children, that I haven't forgotten.

You might not be able to find a spot like that in a cemetary, but maybe your own garden might be a good place, or a little place where you can create a little memorial alter type thing inside?

Re: Another day down!!!

Hi DA ,

Yes i do want to know that might sound a bit sick but if its not in the notes and its not where it was (in the urine sample along with the clots) In the bottle was obviously my urine very bloody . Admitedly there were clots at he bottom but most of the sample was wwhat i think she called the groceries. I wouldent say it was a baby but i will say it was beginning to form it was black and white . She told me i had had a full miscarriage by the looks of it because it was whole i didnt let her examine me until barry arrived and i was left with this sample . She went off to phone him to tell him to hurry up but he was already on his way i put the containerr on the table and laid down until i heard barrys and my dads voices and i wrapped it in tissue which she brought it to me in and clenched holdof it in my hand. Itold barry i had had a full miscarriage he asked how i knew and i said cos its in this very cubicle right now. She took it off me and gave it to him . He said to her is this it ? She said yes we need to examine myself to see if the cervix is closing back up or weather there is any bits that have come off and she could hopoefully get them . Luckily my cervix was closing and the bleeding was slowing down sothey could actually examine me. I lost it in that comode i nkow that for ssure .

At the hospital they have a heartsease garden for all the babys lost it was created by the miscarriage assosiation and i can get a small plaque of rememberance Barry thinks it will help amnd we can say goodbye properly it will only be me barry and the girls . I just have to wait for the forms to come through the post.

Re: Another day down!!!

I really admire you Emz for demanding face to face, its the very least you deserve after what she put you through, that was totally inhumane and I can only imagine the nightmares that flash through your mind

Good on you for speaking public about this, its a very brave thing you are doing and you have my full admiration and support

Re: Another day down!!!

Heyu Helen ,

I doont think she has the right to squirm away from what she done she can see what her heartless actions have done . What they dont yet realise though is i want it in writting too . I will put her through hell i will demand to know where she put it as she hasnt even written it down . Ive been told the clots have gone for testing buit the foetus was with the the clots so i want to know what the sick cow has done to it.

I wont let her get away with this its disgusting im suppossed to be grieving but how can i ? Be interesting to see my notes hopefully i will be able to pick them up when i take my written complaint in it cant get lost that way . Theere is enough missing as it is i will hand it to the person that needs it.

Re: Another day down!!!

Hey Fi,

Yes i think so too its very strange they recieved a fax then the next afternoon i suddenly have a phonecall. I havent a clue what my notessay as the hospital havent yet given them to my dr allthey got was a call to say i had been in hospital and hada miscarriage. 1 day i only saw clots the next she admits it was a foetus and i go from being told if i complain she will do nothing to my complaint is going through stupid people need to make up their minds. Oh i will put herthrough hell when i get this meeting and we will see then if she is happy with herseklf for what she done to us. Also i hope she buys the herald express it should be in there by the beginning of next week. Things are moving fast alot faster than the hospitsal .

Hey Letti,

Strange isnt it sweetie . She is going to be in big trouble me thinks . I thought notes ewere meant to be done no matter what but i could be wrong. I really hope the councelling works i need sleep i told barry e should get some councelling to but he refuses he says he will deal with it in his own way he seems to think the answer is at the bottom of a bottle but as of tomorrow he isnt allowed any beer . Love ya sweetie ur an angel
