I went past that courthouse last month on the motorcycle when I was trying to find medical supply stores to get a gait belt because they didn't have any at Walgreens. I was surprised by how ghetto the area has gotten.

Hard to believe that was a month ago already.

Should be illegal to give drugs such similar names too. That's ridiculous.

@Duck make sure this is noted in a diary. Keep one and go back to the beginning to see if you can document any phone calls, emails, texts, whatever just in case you proceed with legal council.

Since discovering that everything is online, all the notes from every medical professional who saw her at the hospital, even the nurses, I stayed up til 2am last night reading that stuff.

I noticed they refer to every medication by the brand name instead of the generic.

Download to a file everything that you can find. Hospitals, Doctors, NP's, LPN's, anyone that you can think of. Name, rank and serial numbers. It can expedite the case should you choose to go forward seeking compensation.

Just typical of the inner-city savages, no matter the race, creed or color.

I have THOUSANDS of text messages to/from my sister in the past month.

And access to all of the nurses and doctors' chart notes.

Discharge papers, MyChart messages to/from her doctors,

Pictures and videos, all time and date stamped.

This thread too. Every post has a time and date that I can use to assemble a timeline.

But I doubt we're going to sue unless she gets fucked over by Medicare or something. It's too much stress and bullshit to put her through after everything else.

I really want to know why they stopped the antidepressant too. Eventually we're going to have to tell her about her brother Zach.

Can you say, "Medical Malpractice"? Of course you can.

But it's your deal, you do as you see fit. This girl is going to need care in the future and that care isn't going to be free.

The problem is, there are very few neurologists in Illinois due to a lack of tort reform.

I saw the last chart note from her last in-person visit with her neurologist, it listed that clobazam in her current medications. There was no chart note from November when she took her off if it and replaced it with a new one. That was done over the phone.

However I don't have full access. There may be a note somewhere else.

But if not, then the error was done by the neurologist, not the admissions department.

If that's the case, and we sued her, Sarah would be up shit creek because there simply are no other neurologists she can see in the future. There is only one in our area and Sarah thinks he's an idiot. And it would be awkward even seeing one of the other neurologists at Rush.

The quality of her care in the future is more important than what we could sue for.

Like I said sir. Your call. You're not going to live in BF Illinois forever.






Are you?

I don't want to. But we might stuck. If Sarah wasn't within helicopter distance from Rush UMC when she had her stroke, she'd have probably died.

Maybe we could hop across the border to Indiana at some point.

No. She's been up on her feet lately. Today she walked 180 feet without a walker. Just a therapist holding on to her belt.

I can walk too. And I'm still waiting for a call from Nuclear Medicine so I can schedule a CT scan.

I've been having random, pretty severe cramps for like a year and finally decided to go to a doctor, who took bloodwork and immediately referred me to a specialist, with whom I just completed my first appointment. I got the call today about needing the CT scan.

Turns out my Thyroid is all out of whack. No idea what caused it but its been persistent and I should have done something a long time ago besides just thinking I had an electrolyte imbalance and try to fix it myself with supplements and diet changes.

Anyway, given the number of meds Sarah is on, plus the mistakes, I was thinking she might have a Thyroid issue also.

A GP can draw blood and get a basic look at Thyroid hormone levels but and endocrinologist will look closer at T3, T4, T5, TSH, etc and be able to zero in way better.

But if weird stuff keeps happening this might be worth thinking about.

Her cramp was from not being able to move her right leg for like a month. Those muscles needed stretched.

In the ER on the 13th she had a cramp in the bottom of her right foot because it was paralyzed for a month and it naturally rested toes down, like when you floor the gas pedal. I held her foot up for about half an hour to stretch that muscle.

Last week it was her ass muscle and the back side of her right thigh so I slowly raised her knee to her chest to stretch out the ass muscle and then slowly raised her ankle up until she said it was just beginning to hurt, then I held it there on my shoulder while I googled up a medical picture of the body without skin, showing the muscles , so I could get a better idea of how to stretch it.

Over about 30 minutes I was able to get her lower leg nearly vertical while her knee was up to her chest, slowly raising it keeping it just below the pain threshold. She hasn't had those muscles cramp up again yet.

She does have hypothyroidism though. It made her get fat from 2012 to around 2015 until it was diagnosed and medicated, then she lost the weight.



So unless you've already tried it, you should do some stretching exercises. Study the naked muscle person pictures to figure out how to stretch the ones that are cramping. It could just be from sitting on the seat holding the steering wheel for hours and hours every day. All you gotta know is that muscles only pull to move a limb or twist the torso or whatever. When they cramp, stretch them and hold them stretched for a while.

I don't remember what all was involved in diagnosing Sarah's hypothyroidism. I don't even know why she was referred to an endocrinologist. That was when I was trucking full time and my mom took her to all of her doctors appointments except the ones in Chicago. I always insisted on being home for those ones because I didn't want my mom driving in Chicago.
