Hang in there, lady. Things have to turn out OK, so they will. This has always been my philosophy and eventually they always do. Thank you, Carrie. That helps. The nice nurse is off for the rest of the weekend, and now there's one who just keeps saying she wishes she was back in bed.  I told her I wish I was up! When my elderly roommate, who just had a STROKE, requests help, the nurse becomes visibly annoyed and huffy. It makes me feel so bad, she's such a sweet little old lady. Her husband just got here, and he's so attentive and loving.  I do wish I didn't have to overhear his descriptions of the bleeding sore on his penis every time he walks out of the bathroom, though.
I wish I were making this up.  | |

yeah.. don't let them tell you you're fine.. especially when you know better.. cuz really who's gonna know better than you how well you can or can't breathe.. i refused to go home when i went to tampa general in 2003.. i was in pain and couldn't even stand up straight.. the er doctor declared there was nothing wrong and was gonna send me home.. i told them i wasn't goin..well there 2 other docs that wanted to check a few things, which made me even more stubborn.. turns out my appendix ruptured on the operating table while they were using a cam to check me... if i had believed the 'educated' person and went home i wouldn't be here..
don't let them tell you.. YOU tell THEM and i hope you get well soon.. so you can get the hell out of that f**king hospital!!  'why y'all trying to say goodbye? I didn't go anywhere, I'm right here, im all around you,always..'
in a line from my dream, I heard a voice and saw a silhouette in a chair.. | |

PunkMistress said: I'm so frustrated, you guys.
I feel like I'm having to fight so hard to get the clinicians to listen to me. They just want to get me out of here. I'm now having the same shortness of breath and difficulty speaking that I had when I came in here, even with the steroids. I told the nurse that I'm still symptomatic once again, and in this condition would be unable to work and care for my family. That is not okay with me, especially when they haven't even given me any pulmonary function tests yet. (PFTs would give them information on how my airways are functioning, and could rule out COPD and other serious conditions that haven't been addressed by the tests they've done so far) They want me to go home and schedule the PFT with an outpatient doctor. I'm here in the fucking hospital! Do it here, bitches! It's not even like they have to take my word that I'm not better. You can hear my voice being forcibly pushed out, I'm hoarse and struggling to speak, cords on my neck are standing out just from talking. The nurse assured me that he would call the doctor and pass that on. He went out in the hall and called the doctor, and I heard him tell the doctor simply that I'm ready to be discharged but "the patient wants to stay." Nothing about my symptoms, nothing. I got up out of bed, walked out into the hall and said, "I can hear you! I don't just want to stay here, I am still in the same condition I was admitted for and I have no answers! Put him on the phone with me and let him hear how I sound right now. I want to get BETTER!" He turned bright red and repeated my words to the doctor. The doctor immediately ordered them to hold the discharge and give me pulmonary function testing tomorrow (or as soon as a lung specialist is available.) Why should I have to fight so hard for that? This is a hospital. Oh, did I mention I was woken up this morning to be handed a bill for $3,000.00? That's with insurance. I'm trying so hard to keep my head up. And we're told we don't need health care reform. Rant over.  I already said that I don't trust doctors but if there ever was a doubt in my mind about doctors not doing they're job (which there wasn't), this here has taken my doubts away. I'd sooner pay a monkey $3,000 to throw shit before I would give it to a doctor, atleast I know the monkeys would do the job and do it right.
Sorry about the hard time they're giving you in there lady. Hopefully you can get some results out of that place. surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years... | |

The problem with (most) doctors and hosiptals (and trust me because of my disability I have plenty of exp) they don't give a rat's ass about only a few veterans that really studied and care about you that I know but most of them retired. But the problem is like I said they all wanna get their cash and don't give a shit. Most of these young people could care less about you, erin your post worries me a bit keep your head up I know if you keep on smiling it will go better keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! | |

gurl....I pray for you to get out the hospital....not only in the hopes that you get better....but because the damn hospital will kill you with stress ! My aunt fractured her hip and ended up calling her councilwoman to get the hospital to do what they were supposed to do. Go that route if you have to. They also have no business handing you a bill. That shit can easily be mailed! It's not like you are a dog in a vet clinic.
I am no friend to hospitals....we need health care reform finacially and medical reforms. However when you try to do the right thing, people want to fuck you over for that. Still not understanding that about this society. Also if you need help with prescriptions, try togetherrxaccess.com (so not soliciting okay LOL) for a drug card. Luv ya, gurl, stay strong! | |

I get to take a shower today! 
I've only been allowed sponge baths because of the heart monitor (my heart rate keeps shooting up), but this morning I can take it off for a shower. No more smelly Mistress! | |

Now that made me feel better. I'm so confused by what is going on with my body. I woke up this morning and my heart rate was 110, 40 points above my normal resting rate. I was breathing fine, however. They then gave me a breathing treatment, and then I became short of breath! WTF! The respiratory therapist said it may be that even though it's a medicine, introducing any particles into my airways when they're relaxed could have irritated them. They're only going to give them to me when I'm symptomatic now. | |

I am sure being in there is stressing you out and not helping the heart rate. 
Damn..... I am sure it is so frustrating for you. Hospital stays suck! It is impossible to get proper sleep and relaxation. Do they think it is all down to Asthma or are they thinking it is more than that going on?

Yes, it's frustrating. I still don't have a diagnosis. Still waiting on a specialist to come and give me pulmonary function testing, which may not be until Monday or Tuesday. | |

My nurse and the CNA got into an argument over my heart monitor. When the nurse left, the CNA whispered to me, "She drives me CRAZY! I can't STAND working with her!"
God, this is what passes for excitement for me now. Just take me out and shoot me. | |
