I finally found him after nearly 3 hours calling the operator and floor nurse.
When I came in he was groaning in pain! His his nurse came in and said.he should be pressing the button.
Dh said it was not working! After another 30 min. He told me his bed was wet. He said the button was not working again. Another lady came in and found his IV for pain meds was disconnected! So no he was not getting and pain mefs after surgery for over 2 hours! I was having a fit and wanted to rip someone's head off!
Now he has a dry bed and sleeping good.

The surgical nurse head came in to talk to me and apologize. She said they would do better Thursday.
I told her that we have never had a problem with this hospital before.
I'm just happy he's now sleeping pain free!

That is bad!

It is good that you were able to get it sorted out

Really need someone like you Chicka to see that what needs to be done, is addressed promptly.

Oh Chika that is too bad . Everyone needs an advocate when they are helpless, no matter how good the staff is - good thing you were there.
