"My Operation"

From entering the hospital to being discharged may I say every member of staff relating to my operation trough to my aftercare, including ward nurses and HCAs were amazing, they were kind, empathetic, genuinely caring about how I was feeling and if there was anything else they could do to help make me more comfortable, all in lovely moods and smiling, my one tiny negative comment is that immediately prior to my discharge I had a Super Pubic Catheter removed, unfortunately the nurse didn't warn me that I would have an awful lot of fluid coming out of the whole in my stomach where the tube had been and all she did was put a small thin dressing on the wound. by the time I was home which was 75 minutes away I was absolutely soaked right through as was my car seat and actually quite scared not knowing this was normal. I phoned the ward and they assured it was normal and should stop by the morning which it did. Please tell future patients and give sufficient dressings to cope with potentially a lot of fluid.
