16379. concerned - 8/29/2005 11:45:03 PM I'm considering the use of similar logic to debunk the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. Hey, if one has a need to slaughter sacred cows, one has to go slumming now that LW ideology is dead and buried. 16380. jexster - 8/30/2005 12:30:31 AM "This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." al-Qur'an 5:3
Where's my Holiday Inn towel!16381. arkymalarky - 8/30/2005 12:49:45 AM Many people I know have done it, gives them a chance to head off to Italy on the pretence of working.
Sounds like a plan! 16382. judithathome - 8/30/2005 12:51:01 AM Her back brace is ENORMOUS and so my heart is sad that her life will be greatly altered once she is awake and begins the healing process. She has to wear thebrace for six months!
Jen, she will not even notice how long she is in this...it is necessary and once it's over, she will be grateful for the fact she is better.
My heart goes out to both of you...your mom will always recall this event and link it to the wonderful birth of you beautiful, healthy daughter.
Good luck to all three of you. And let Dylan be helpful to your mom...both of them will always remember it.
16383. judithathome - 8/30/2005 5:47:32 AM My car is still at the shop....went in at noon today.
'Nuff said. 16384. Magoseph - 8/30/2005 10:18:00 AM We have good news from Jen about her mom and not so good news about Judith's cherished and lovely Jaguar--(I can say that because I saw it almost three years ago, a beautiful sleek machine.)
Hello, Mac! 16385. Macnas - 8/30/2005 1:24:51 PM hello there Mago. 16386. thoughtful - 8/30/2005 3:23:39 PM I'd say sorry, judithah, but anyone who buys a jag knows you have to buy 2...one to drive while the other's in the shop! 16387. PelleNilsson - 8/30/2005 3:30:44 PM And a third one to cannibalize for spare parts. 16388. Ms. No - 8/30/2005 3:58:10 PM Hell, I just need one to have a muscular cabanna boy wash in the driveway. 16389. Ms. No - 8/30/2005 3:58:45 PM please ignore superfluous consonants. 16390. Magoseph - 8/30/2005 4:14:10 PM That last sentence had me laughing out loud, Ms. No. When you have a sec, go to Good Life and see my sons lake room's improvements so far. 16391. judithathome - 8/30/2005 7:56:28 PM Jag update: STILL at the shop! This is ludicrous. 16392. Jenerator - 8/30/2005 8:37:46 PM Judith is really a rapper!!??
I knew it!
 16393. judithathome - 8/30/2005 8:56:22 PM I didn't say I was ludicrous, Jen. ;-) 16394. judithathome - 8/31/2005 8:17:59 PM Jag update: same as before...supplier sent wrong bushings, waiting for the correct ones to arrive.
I feel like Godot. 16395. Magoseph - 8/31/2005 8:26:01 PM Yes, it's hell not to have a car disponible at all times in this country, unless you live in a large city with subways and buses.
Beautiful weather here today, one of those perfect days that are so rare when the temperature is 72 degrees, no clouds, and no one around to bother you. I am repotting my plants in larger wooden containers with liners I found in the basement. 16396. Jenerator - 8/31/2005 8:48:59 PM I hate to bring in somewhat bad news, but...
My mom is doing alright - she is recovering and is extremely drugged, but her care has been horrible.
Has anyone ever had to make a formal complaint against a nurse before?
I spoke to the charge nurse about my concerns, but I fear that I need to take it higher to the Chief of Staff and Administration.
In a nutshell, there has been NO communication between any of the staff members responsible for her care. SHe was given food she was allergic to, despite a nutrition request, and when she paged them three times to ask for help and to notofy them she felt ill, they put a vomit bucket at her feet - she can't even sit up at a 30% incline!!!! (She got sick all over herself and they were put out by it). She has not been given her pain medication in a prompt or orderly fashion (waiting one and a half hours for it, six hours after invasive surgery, is not acceptable) and she has been neglected with water. They put it seemingly deliberately out of her reach and then will not bring to her after she pages them and requests it. The list goes on.
Needless to say I am furious. 16397. judithathome - 8/31/2005 11:10:38 PM Jen the quality of care in hospitals these days leaves one speechless...I am so sorry this is happing to your mom.
Don't forget MsGreer...she is a patient advocate and could probably help you sort this out...meaning about what your options are. 16398. Ms. No - 9/1/2005 3:27:14 AM I'm glad to hear her surgery went well but what an awful way to be treated.
Make sure that you document each infraction and the name of the staff members on duty at the time responsible for her care.
And, yes, Ms.Greer is the expert and would likely be happy to give you some advice.
