Nellie, I'm so sorry to hear what a rough time you've had, but glad that you are back home now. I really find it so unfair when someone else's situation/family have an impact on the other person in the room. What about your privacy? I nurse friend of mine had a situation recently where a very ill patient had MANY family members by his side and they were understandably very upset at his critical condition and were very verbal about it. That was upsetting the elderly patient in the next bed, but nothing was done about it until that patient's family complained. We really have to advocate for ourselves and family. I don't know what the best answer is, but the other patient's needs have to be considered as well. Anyway, glad you're on the road to recovery.
