THIS IS AN OUTRAGE
Why can't I stay out of the hospital for more than a month?I get deathly sick on a Saturday,fever,chills,throwing up(big time),my left side+lower back just racking w/ pain....once again I tell my sister,who lives an hour and a half away from me,that I REFUSE to go back to the hospital.So ta-ta-ta-daaaa...here comes Teresa to the rescue.Threatening to physically put me in the car,giving me 2 choices....I can fight it,or I can go in peace.Since I had ZERO energy,I decided to just grab a houscoat and houseshoes,and off we go to this backwoods poe-dunk hospital.After various testing,they determine there is blood in my kidney.So I'm life-flighted in the helicopter to Tyler to a more equipped hospital Went into surgery,and had a stint(or valve) of some sort put in my kidney.They also determined I have kidney stones.I screamed w/ excruciating pain for a good 3-4 days,even the morphine pump didn't stop the pain.I could only press the button every 15 minutes to release the amount prescribed,but even the high dose didn't phase this pain!(ohhh,and get this...the IV had to be put in one of the main veins into the heart,cuz they COULD NOT get a vein anywhere else,except the neck,and after a few hours of the neck IV,it decided it wanted to quit.... So here I am,can't turn my neck in the brace,left arm still in the! cast....which by the way,I was schedualed to get the pins put in the next day,after arriving at the E.R.(but of course that doctor had to put that off for now).....GEEEEEZ!!!! WHAT NEXT,HUH?
I just wanna get well enough to go back to work!(and I have the absolute NERVE to be sitting here drinking a diet Dr.Pepper instead of water or something) BIG DUH!Some fools never learn,like the song goes...but after this lil song and dance....things really need to change for the better...somehow....someway.I just can't stand another round in the hospital.
