Don't feel bad hon,you asked us to look after you and we care very much. I hope the deputy didn't startle you too much. Please get a co worker or friend to fix your phone. I'm so glad that you are OK,sorry you're feeling bad though. -
Amy please listen to WWM. Now is the time to have some help. You should not take your phone out. Please call your sister and see if she can come back for a day or two. You should not be alone with this much pain. Please Amy listen to the medical experts here. You are loved and so many are worried.
-
Amy, please email us your correct land line number, and also a friend that's near by's number so we won't have to call the sherriff again!.... we have made a list for everyday for people to call, so we want to make sure we reach you..... if you'd rather us call your friend than you directly, we'll do that, but give us a contact that is staying in touch with you..... and CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!! - listen to WWM and the other nurses and Dr. on this site!....(((AMY)))

Amy, thank goodness you are relatively ok!!! The zoo crew are home right now packing to go looking for you! I'll have to call in on the kitty hotline and let them know we are now in condition yellow - cancel red alert!! {{{{{Amy}}}}}

Hey Amy...I wonder if that good looking deputy is married? Hahaha! Sending healing prayers and TDK white light that your pain begins to subside real soon. My heart just aches that you're there at home alone. If you're supposed to stay in bed and not move then that dr. had no business sending you home where you have to be alone. Whatever was he thinking? Dear God send this girl an Angel to watch over her.

OK, I know MC's situation os potentially serious, but this reminded me of something and now I am laughing... I was listening to a show not too long ago where they were playing recordings of stupid calls made to 9-1-1. One lady called and was asking the operator if she knew the name and number of the deputy who had just called on her - she thought he was cute and wanted to call him up for a date! (Don't get any ideas, Amy)
-
(((((AMY))))), thank God. PLEASE do NOT under any circumnstances take your phone to be fixed. Have someone else do that for you.
I hope and pray that you have conveyed to your doctor that you are alone and without help.He would then , God willing, would understand that he either need to get home care or re-admit you.
*small sigh of tiny relief*, still so worried.
If you see this MC,please cosider what AV posted and send a land line # and a relative's # to anyone here that you feel comfortable with.
BTW, Buttercup specifically requested a handsome deputy!!LOLPosted 2 years ago by Tigerlilly #

*says a prayer for MC*
I wish I lived close to where she lives. I would gladly take her phone down to be fixed or make sure she got a replacement. I am worried that she is going to try to do too much too soon.
Take it easy MC. Get lots of rest and try to get some kind of home health care while you are recovering. You do not need to be doing anything right now except for recovering from that surgery.

i'm glad they did a wellness check on amy. that was a good idea!! i am worried about her and i think she should go back to the dr. i do think they sent her home to soon. i was surprised to hear she was out so soon. i agree they do kick people out to quick sometimes. this maybe one case, she needs to be rechecked by the doc. at least the officer was cute. good work BC !!!
they should of sent her home with home health. she needs to be checked on esp with her pain. worried about her .. i am very worried ...
-
Did anyone get a contact number of a friend yet? Hopefully the friend can take the phone out to be repaired or replaced. She DOES NOT need to be driving, walking etc to take care of that phone! We are too far away to help!! Talk about frustrating!!!! MC, we love you and are concerned. Please do not try to do too much. Sometimes it is really hard to ask for help but, please get some help! We love ya and want you better. Prayers, hugs, headbonks and healing thoughts are on the way to you.

Frankly, I don't think that MC is even physically capable of taking her phone to be repaired. She should never have been sent home to an unstable situation this early. What do you want to bet that she hasn't had one thing to eat today, and probably only sips of water. She needs to have an evaluation every single day in these early post-op days by an RN. This is really inexcusable, in my mind.

I am angry at her doctor, at the discharge planner at the hospital, and at the nurses. They should have done such careful evaluation to make certain that she was going home to a safe situation and they all failed miserably at that.
Welcome to health care as driven by insurance companies.

I agree with you WWM and am very angry at the doctor, nurses and the hospital. She shouldn't have been allowed to go home if they knew she would be alone. They should have had a nurse visit at least for the 3-5 days after post op.
I am very worried that she hasn't eaten or had much to drink at all today if she has been so sick and in so much pain to be packed in ice. I think that they should have put her in a post-op hospital for a couple of days at least. I wish I had the means to hop on a red-eye and go check on her. If I could I would give her family a good tongue wagging! Even if they aren't talking much, they should still be checking in with her and arranging for a home health care.
I feel so helpless here on the West Coast. Airfare to Chicago would be $568 on Southwest. I wish I had the money and could just go to help out.

I just find it very difficlt to believe that no services were planned. I hate to generalize, but many surgeons seem to often underestimate recovery needs. But even when this happens, nurses come to the rescue as ultimate patient advocates.

This is very upsetting to hear. Maybe if someone called the hospital and let them know that MC is in pain and has no one to help her, they would send a nurse to check on her? I had this offered to me when I had a C-section. I told them I didn't need it, but here is a situation where it is very necessary.
-
Good idea CW! Maybe one of our TDK nurses such as TL or WWM or Buttercup could call. They would know how stern to be with the doctor to get what is needed. It is possible that the call has to come from MC herself though.

WWM would there be a way to contact the hospital and see what needs to be done to get her some help? I don't think that Amy is advocating for herself because of the pain. It is incredibly difficult to think when in pain. You are a nurse and a professional--although they can't violate HIPA I can't believe they wouldn't listen to you and at least check for themselves on her status.

Oh NO! Like MCW I was away for a few days and came back to this! Poor Amy!
Does CM have the cell phone number of the friend who texted her from the hospital? Cell phones usually log all the numbers of calls and texts received. If CM does have that number, perhaps she could call her back and ask her to check in on MC and help with the phone repair, etc.?
Amy - Like the others have said, PLEASE do not even think about taking your phone out for repair yourself. You do need to stay in bed and keep your pain under control, and only get up for food and drink and other necessities. Sending all the white light I can!

Oops - Just saw the Paging CM post. CM's deleted the friend's number. :-(

Rubia, CM doesn't have the details from that txt anymore. MC really does need some homecare help. I hope something can be sorted out very soon.

Y'all, it really isn't the hospital that can do anything much for MC. Having worked in hospitals, I can tell you that they don't have nurses on staff to make home visits. It is her doctor who needs to write the order for home care.
TL and Buttercup, my guess is that even the discharge planner or social worker at the hospital could interact with us since we are not family. What do you think?
Posted 2 years ago by WillowandWindismom #

I think the best thing would be if MC would call on her own behalf. I know docs are hard to reach, but most floor nurses become quite invested in their patients, she could call one of her post op nurses and have her go to bat for her. I am still left thinking that this is so far out in left field ; I really wish one of us could reach MC and ask her directly what happened.

The hospital must have next of kin/in case of emergency people on record. I know we're not family but couldn't they give a courtesy call to the sister to contact one of you. I'm so afraid that under the conditions MC may not even have a working phone to make a call...let alone even be able to think straight with the pain meds and if she's not getting meals steadily she may even be too weak to make any calls anyway. I'm trying to imagine myself in her situation and Lord I'm outraged that her family has left her alone and haven't helped her to get someone to be with her even if they can't be there. =(
