I thank god parents can now sleep at hospital with their kids in had surgery as a three year old when parents couldnt even beat hospital daybook surgery and it was only two hours a day visiting back in 1976. Then back in 1977 I had my first 4ye surgery aged 4 parents could stay all day but had to leave at childrrns bedtime of 8pm coulfnt go into wnasethic room eith them sleepy meds on ward did nothing for me 1977 , and plus seven months more eye surgeries then 1978 +6 months tonsils out. Mum said I just seemed to accept her going home but in my forties I needed surgery for a hysterdctomy wnd it was during emdr therapy that I was cdiagnosed with mild cpsd it seems while having this deep relaxation therapy yhat id only remembered of childhood was hodpital to do 2ith that and years of outpatient visits image in my mind of somebody grey from head to toe and commotion it was cnight my dad had a massive cardaric arrest and I was timid scared of my own room as a child child so I saw a lot of it as I slept in their toom . Later also yold in last few years I've got BPD, GAD,autism, patonia, severe sucidal ideation
