When was this?

Because I'm listening to a podcast about events in the 1880s that involves robbery, murder, lies, cattle rustling, and bad intentions.

I'm just curious as to when this moral superiority took place that old people like to hold over younger peoples heads.

Frankly I think it's a bunch of shit.

I'm into antique tractors and get a magazine dedicated to steam engines and big gas tractors. They reprint articles from a turn of the century magazine called Iron Man Album. I read a couple commentarys that old guys didn't figure the younger generation would be able to keep up and weren't worth a hoot.

I hate when people put younger generations down. Foolish at best.

oh man...that was tough for me to watch, let alone what you went thru. they need to allow you to be there, to make sure she gets propped up.

christ almighty duck, i feel so badly for you and the Mrs.

can't a lawyer or clergy help you get inside?

I've been told the quarantine is a state law for rehab/nursing home patients. Nothing a lawyer can do unless I had the millions of dollars necessary to push it all the way to the US Supreme Court and by then the quarantine will be long over.

A nurse caught what she believed was an error by a doctor who wrote her 11 prescriptions the day she was discharged from the hospital to this rehab place.

Her main epilepsy drug was prescribed as "take 1 pill 5 times a day for three days".

I sent a message to her GP who is a nurse practitioner working for that other doctor, since I couldn't get a message to him directly.

She replied and said to continue the med and in the meantime she will talk to that doctor for clarification on why he's taking her off the epilepsy med.

I think he confused it with an antibiotic.

She only took that epilepsy med 3x a day too.


I think that doctor fucked up and prescribed an epilepsy drug instead of an antibiotic. Too much of that epilepsy drug will definitely cause her to be too tired to work with the therapists and lose all her progress.

If this turns out to be correct when Sarah's epilepsy doc in Chicago gets my message tomorrow and talks to the other doc in Kankakee and they correct it, I am going to owe this nurse BIG.

It would be awesome if she basically pops back up and is ready to rehab.

Yes it would.

And I will definitely be speaking to that nurse's supervisor. Maybe she'll get a raise or something.

Yeah that nurse is a superstar.

 

[Duck]

My sister is a nurse in a neurology clinic. She works with ALS and Parkinsons patients. Her best friend is a nurse who works with epilepsy patients.

I sent that medication list to my sister and gave her the login info so she can look at everything in her charts. The lab tests, everything.

And she shared it with her friend.

Both of them believe that this is an error. Max dose per day for anyone is 40 mg. Sarah has been receiving 100 MG.

The effects of overdose describes her sudden decline following a period of positive recovery. It also explains the mysterious low blood pressure.

I sent a message via the medical chart app, to her epilepsy neurologist in Chicago too, but probably won't hear from her til morning.

I'm going to Riverside first thing in the morning to make them correct it.

If this is the cause of her decline and she will come back to us and resume her recovery once corrected, it will be the miracle we've all been praying for.

Sarah has been receiving medication to raise her blood pressure. So they'll have to monitor her BP and wean her off of those meds as they wean her off the cloBAZam overdose so she doesn't get high BP.

I guess that you just have to trust people sometimes. I wasn't around in the 1800's and the wild west. So far in my life, it's worked out pretty good. Maybe I just hang with a different class of people.

 

[BlackBart]

That's the way us old dudes consummate an agreement. A man's handshake and his word used to be all that was needed. You young guys have no clue about that.

Easy there amigo. He just messin with ya.

Look how you spelled what was supposed to be “shake”

not to get into your personal "stuff", but if there is a need for expenses to be paid, your wife might qualify for Medicaid thru your state. they pick up the tab, as when i had a relative in a nursing home, the family could not afford the costs, and the nursing home helped fill out the forms and such.

just a thought if you were not aware of this.

and again, my heart hurts for what you and Sarah are going thru, and you 2 really are in my prayers.


even if, you are a dumbass, that takes 27 years to build something and take like a gazillion pictures...

a friend told me.

She's on both Medicare and Medicaid. She is considered disabled because of the epilepsy.

Or "ella pepsi" as she said it once last week.

No. He's trolling me. I know brain playing when I read it. This is outright trolling.

And this place is the epitome of perfect spelling? Not in a million years. I just fail to proof read and catch every little one letter mistake. For that I apologize.

I guess that I could have just simply read the posts and laughed instead of supporting the forum. But again, the posts are going off topic.

Yeah that one's on me. But you gotta admit shanking hands sounds Spartacus level gruesome.

 

[Duck]

So after I spent several hours getting my sister authorized to talk to the Chicago neurologist about Sarah, she spoke with the neurologist's nurse, also named Sarah.

She looked at her records.

Sarah was taken off of this drug back in November and it was replaced with the one I had to go to Chicago to get a couple weeks ago.

There was a charting error and she was put back on it at the full dose, while continuing with its replacement. So she's double dosed. And it's a type of drug that takes a while to build up and to clear her system.

The neurologist called the nursing home and corrected it and faxed something.

But according to my sister, it should take 8-14 days for the extreme Valium effect to go away, but the confusion might take up to two weeks beyond that to go away.

Medicare will only pay for another 16 days at this rehab facility.

Right now she is sitting in a wheelchair barely able to hold her head up, drooling on her shirt with a pained expression on her face.

PISSED

It's a good thing you are on top of all of this @Duck

 

[Duck]

It's a good thing you are on top of all of this @Duck

And it's a DAMN good thing I have a sister who is a RN in a neurology clinic, and has an alpha personality. She is the one who called Chicago and got them moving on this.

 

[Injun]

I don't know whether to cry for her because her recovery has been set back a month or scream in fury because that f'king quack wrote the scrips and a traned pharmacist filled them without double checking. Nobody thought there was something weird until that nurse (Spirits bless her life) caught it. She is an angel.

See if you can contact her state caseworker to explain what happened and why Sarah should get a restart on her rehab. If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.

I don't know how to do that. I don't even know if she has one.

Her current status... If she's awake she's scared and crying.

When she sees my face in the window, she stops crying for a few minutes, then falls asleep.

I'm pretty much just hanging out in my van in the parking lot about a truck length or less from the window, walking up and checking on her every half hour or so.

I told her about the med fuckup but I simplified it. Just said that her neurologist reviewed her medication and found that she was overmedicated and she called the nursing home and corrected it and she'll be getting better in a few days.

She cried for a few seconds then fell asleep.

 

[Injun]

I don't know how to do that. I don't even know if she has one.

Start with the social worker at the facility she's in right now.

 

[mndriver]

Start with the social worker at the facility she's in right now.

I think I’d call and get the state health board involved immediately.

this is way beyond that.



walk into the social worker office and make that call in front of her face. Whether I had an appointment or not.

i do believe that all hospitals, nursing homes, have a case manager. that person is like a "go between" for the patient and family, and the health care facility and state/county.

just ask the staff where Sarah is at.
