Izzy:

I sure HOPE that this time, the docs listen and you get an extra large helping of TLC!!!!! Like M02, I fear your silence means that you are once again at the mercy of these "medical professionals". Surely, you've scared them into correcting the problem by now and are recovering while waited on hand & foot!  :D

You know how I feel about the medical profession... my blood pressure goes up just thinking about it!! If ONLY they learned in school, that we are PEOPLE with feelings and we KNOW our bodies better than they do... instead of thinking of us as specimens, presenting X number of symptoms... SIGH. Their remedies really aren't one size fits all... and they need to listen more than they prescribe.

I hope you're on the mend now and that we'll get the play by play - and good prognosis for a complete recovery -  very shortly.

You went into the emergency room on the 22nd, Izz.

It's the 28th.

It's been one week, today.

I hope you're recovering and receiving the best possible care, ((Izzy)).

hi all and thank you for thinking of me.

Last wed a.m. into Emergency, the same Ortho Surg removed all the hardware and rest reset all the bones.

This case was a meeting of the Ortho Surg'n's ,minds with no answers to go on. From what little I garbled out, no pan in lower leg, yet pain in upper leg does not mean bone density is the same.  Who is to know? They tried and it failed, so all the hardware came out and a regular bone setting made.

The week on IV antibiotics and home.

Most people are nice but karma exists. I know. Sheena was a bossy little bi*ch. She tried to give me laxatives one night. Uh Uh! Not BEFORE bedtime I said so and she said to do as I was told, so I did. ....and so I did. Sheena had to healp clean me up and time is of the essence when I hit the buzzer. She and her co-nurse set to work and I said I don't know when I'm finished but if I say PAD! Then grab one, She wasn't listening, barking out orders to the other and I tried to used the words, "It's Time" and she just ignored me so Blam! She got it in the face. (Hospitals don't give much time to finish what you started, before they have to have their say.

I hope she always wonders if I did that on purpose or if "time is of the essence " is best to follow.

I have daily dressings at home now
....for a few days anyway ...then will pray that the anitbiotics have taken hold.

and it's the 28th of April

HB to IZ

Thank God you're home, Izz.

I was so worried.

When you're feeling stronger..... come back and share more.

About the bully nurse......

I think health care professionals, who make not listening a habit, are very common.

It makes me sad.  At least she experienced a negative consequence.

Perhaps she'll stop to think, when a patient speaks, in the future?

I know my relief that you're home pales in comparison to your, Iz... nevertheless...

I'm happy you're back in your own digs with your own care and you're back in charge. Rest up, get well, and we can trash the bedside manner (or lack thereof) of medical professionals later!   8)
