And another thing!

So the trike was pinched. And I printed, signed, and posted seven copies of the formal complaint to the hospital about the events surrounding Linnea's birth. Two were sent recorded delivery, to the complaints dept and the chief exec; three were sent first class post, to the ob who deals with the birth trauma clinic, the head of midwifery, and the PALS, and two were hand-delivered, to my GP and my Health Visitor.

Then I ate two huge chocolate muffins with dairy in them and was subsequently unwell but I *needed* the comfort food and I wanted to go to my favourite cafe.

So now we wait. If I don't hear from them within 21 days I go to a solicitor - that's 11 April, allowing for post delivery time.

I've also hired the venue for Linnea's birthday party; a little hall down the road where we can have an at-home style party with a little more space and no cat-allergy issues.

Hi,
I got your little note in my lj, thank you for thinking of me! I am coping with this the way I cope with most things, i.e. in a secret blog I have where I rant and rave incessnantly about every little thing that makes me mad. Funny thing is, I had a lot of women come there and tell me it helped them to read about it because THEY thought THEY were crazy... and even better, some women studying to be midwives who took my story to heart and modified their thinking a bit on always believing they know the best thing for every woman better than she does herself. And that kind of helped, to know that somewhere, someone heard me and listened.

And by the way - thank YOU.
