"Communication really needs to be addressed."

Patient in ward 21, most staff friendly, ward exceptionally busy. Improvement can be made in:

- Communication- staff didn't know I had already been at theatre and didn't know if I had blood thinners.

-asked for review of analgesia sent home with same no discussion. 

-no pillow slips, 3 hours later still no pillow slips, can't get any pillows to get more comfy.

-sent home with very short notice with no stair practice.  20 stairs from front of house to bed. Physio  coming back next day as I have to be mobile BUT non weight bearing but discharged at 5:00pm that night. Ended up stuck upstairs in my home unable to get to the toilet. I did not realise how difficult stairs would be.

Communication really needs to be  addressed.
