My mom broke her hip at 72 years old. They wouldn't operate because she had COPD. After a year, they finally agreed to do it after I 'suggested' they give her just enough anesthesia to put her asleep and if she started to wake up they gave her a little more etc. instead of putting her under deeply for the whole surgery. It took some convincing but it worked. Your mom REALLY needs the surgery. I will pray for her.
I don't believe for,,,,a,,,,second that my dad has COVID. Thanks for the reminder about documenting everything. My nerves are shot and I'm exhausted so I totally forgot to document the phone conversation!
Type 2. He's been diabetic for many years. Hasn't been on insulin. just metformin. His sugars aren't great, usually in the teens, I try to be very careful with what I give him and cook for him but in his old age and being VERY stubborn (always) he will only eat certain things. Bread is his main problem. They didn't tell me his levels this evening, just that they wee too high. Besides being diabetic, he had a major stroke about 30 years ago due to cholesterol and has been on Warfarin ever since.
Thank you and appreciate it but I already have a Power of Attorney doc from lawyer with my dad's signiture. Got it 4 years ago and really glad i did.
Wow, glad your Mom is ok! I think a lot of people die in hospital due to incompetence. My Mom broke her hip in the hospital because they wouldn't help her to the bathroom and she didn't want to pee the bed (she had gotten beatings for peeing the bed as a child. found out when she was in her 30's it was due to the fact that she only had one kidney and didn't know it). They wouldn't operate for over a year because she was a heavy smoker and wouldn't quit. My spouse's mom died because she had a bed sore and the docs and nurses didn't take care of it. The infection went into her tail bone and spine.

Lady, but no offence. Thank you for the prayer fren.
So sorry about your sister. Same thing with my sister, cancer, 15 years ago.
They said it depends on how he responds to the things they are giving him. At least 2 or 3 three days, maybe longer. I can only go in to see him if he takes a turn for the worst and is on his last breath.
I told the doctor that I am fully aware that a PCR is NOT a diagnostic tool PERIOD. So a positive result means NOTHING. AND that I am aware that it's a money grab for the hospitals. He was pissed about that but I really don't care. It's funny....I use to be shy! The other funny thing is that I've been wiping his ass, kissing his forehead and holding his hand for 4 days.... but alas I still don't have COVID! (Neither does my dad)
Yes he is in there. I didn't have a choice, he was dying here. I tried a nebulizer with peroxide. I tried Quercitine with zinc and vitamin D. I knew he DIDN'T have covid but I thought maybe he had aspirated some and gotten fluid in his lungs. Nothing was helping. He got very weak fast and was almost completely non-responsive. He is 6 ft 250 lbs. I am 4 ft and a half 140 lbs. I couldn't lift on him alone when he has zero strength to help me. I could no longer get him on the commode and he was having diarreah. I had to do something. Right now they have him on oxygen and IV, antibiotics, and steroids. Also, insulin because he's diabetic and his sugars are too high. These are the only things I have agreed to.
I told him I have a letter from our lawyer that is Power of Attorney and there will be NO remdesivir, NO intubation, and NO CLOT SHOT. He said that my wishes/demands will be respected. They asked about Tocilizumab which I have never heard of. I told him no.
Yes he is making a crackling sound! That's scary! He's in the hospital now and they won't let me in because I am unshot.
Thank you really.
They said he has no signs of congestion or infection in the lungs. I said that sounds pretty strange for a RESPIRATORY infection! He said, well sometimes people get COVID in the bowels!!
They won't let me in. Neither of us have the clot shots. I just got off the phone with the doctor after having a huge argument with him. I told him that dad MOST CERTAINLY does NOT have COVID. He lives alone , goes nowhere and no one goes into his house but me and I haven't even had the sniffles in almost 2 years let alone COVID. Also, he had NO symptoms of anything resembling COVID before he fell so I said, "what did he do fall on top of COVID when he hit the floor?!"
Thank you and I'm sorry about you dad.
Why the F would anybidy want to come to Canada?! At least right now?! I wish I could GET OUT !!!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Trey Smith! His videos and books are incredible, I'd love to have them all. people are really missing out that haven't seen his vids.
I didn't have to sign in.
Beautiful. I wish I could upvoat this a thousand times. Should be it's own post. AND I love animals too.
OK I think I can do that. Thank you.
