Pam needs help now! - nana valley - 09-05-2012
I just went on the link to check on Pam's status and read her post at almost midnight last night. She needs emergency help now. I copied her post so you all can see the emergence of this.

You all may be surprised... this is the most frightening experience I have had in my life. The support I thought Ihad lined up is nonexistent. Bob is overwhelmed. i am trying to get Kasier support for some in home services via my Medicare. social workers have just ignored us. I had such a stress/anxiety reaction in the ICU that I checked out of the hospital AMA until the surgeon just "stopped by" and signed me out of the hospital. I got on a plane and came home. I spent time on the bathroom floor in the night crying for Bob'shelp as my legs would not respond and i could not get up. He did not have the presence of mind to dial 911 for help. He still foes not understand that this is dangerous episode. I think he is overwhelmed and shut down. /that i can put this in writing is weird but a call for some help in figuring it all out. I have lost 17 lbs, am weak, keeping clean and moving the best I can. Imagine being told by Kasier Social Worker from "discharge planning... You are already in Hilo? /we will assign someone to you... still waiting for a return for a couple days. Whom do they thnk is providing daily are. How can they not know where a surgical patient is after brain surgery? /granted I am alive.... heavily drugged fighting pain and fear.

Could someone tell me how to get to her ranch? I can go up early afternoon and see what is needed. I'm leaving about 10AM so hopefully I can get directions by then. Thank you

Up Hwy 11 to mm. 20 Right on N. Glenwood. About a mile or less on the right. Not sure on exact, been awhile, but that gets pretty close.

Look for the mailbox with a mermaid. Long gravel driveway.

okay, typical of me, I over-reacted. Talked to Pam and I learned that her support group (laundry, feeding animals, etc) is intact.
She is waiting on Home Health to get the ball rolling in her care.
I apologize for the confusion I created.

Don't apologize for being ready to act.
