Waiting to hear how Pam is doing....

[pslamont]

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.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says

"Oh Crap, She's up!"
