LOL The police officer was entering the building as I was leaving with my ride. I did go to the police station and have them take a Polaroid of the bruises from the nurse, so when I am all better I can complain to the hosp administration. These are not bruises like you sometimes get from an injection, but are in the shape of the nurses thumb and fingers. Now if I can just get myself to go back to bed, I will get better. I have kept my temp normal for almost 12 hours now. Thanks for the kind words, . Love to you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 1999 Report Share Posted January 31, 1999 I do not know what to do !!! The last flu shot gave me the " death flu " the 103+ temp. I saw purple hugh on everything. Wanted very much to die . And could not keep sheets dry as I didn't have that many to change with. Oh I was sick, so Im scared as the dickens of the flu anti-virus . What to do ? Yes I take massive C and E and do not abuse myself , no booze no smoke good diet should be well or dead. Echinacea worked great till I got the flu , fooled them didn't we. Well its Niquil and valium to sleep through it next time. " Better living while dying " I always say Bless you Root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 1999 Report Share Posted January 31, 1999 what a horror story! I am glad you made it out alive. Sounds like a third world country in South America or somewhere. Even there you would probably be treated better.

" Better living while dying " I always say Bless you Root >> Yes after these last few days I have seriously considered getting the flu shot however I have heard that those can be so bad for you. I don't drink and it has been impossible to smoke with this Dang thing so I pulled out my handy nicoderm patches and have rejoined the land of the non smokers again. could be the only good thing out of this years flu season. My ribs hurt so bad from coughing because they are all fused from the AS felt like they are broken. Today they feel better. so they are not torn lose or anything I think. I did manage to go out for a little bit today to keep the fellas in the foot ball pool honest. and I did manage to eat a little chicken. So that is all good still having the fever off and on, but bought some Tylenol for that, and the Doc put me on a strong antibiotic, called levofloxacin, 500 mg and gave me also some promethazine with codeine syrup. I have stopped throwing up however am still not as lucid as I wish to be. I am glad you are my friend . See you all later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think she will hear about it tomorrow. my Tech Director called me again this morning to get her name and I have photos of my arm where she grabbed me and bruised me, to send to the hosp administrators. The worse part was they put me in this room, and then came and moved me to another room so they could have that room for a woman in labor. I would not want to be put in a bed in a room to have a baby where some one with the flu had just been there. and she was just coughing all over the place (the nurse) I do not think that hospital was very sanitary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 1999 Report Share Posted February 1, 1999 Man, , what a story! But you're right, the first thing they want to do is pump Prednisone and Methotrexate. " Traditional " meds, the killers, and that's all they know. HELLOOOOO, some of you doctors, educate yourselves, like some of the wonderful doctors we have taking care of us!
