<< i did everything u told me to regarding this nurse. alot of interesting

things came to light. 1. she was from regestry and floats from floor to floor

and is PRN she only works if and when she wants to.

2. my doc spoke with her after he spoke to me and i geuss he caught her in a

lie and he is doing a report he wants her fired.

3. after speaking with the floor manager and looking at my

chart this nurse documented that she gave me my meds at 5pm before my meal.

well my mom and joe and roommate verified that i didnt get my med untill

after 6pm. the nurse manager for the floor said well she had an hour either

way. i was suppose to have the med at 4pm 1-2 hours before my super. i got it

at 6:20 after i ate so i didnt take it untill 830 due to its to be taken 2

hours after u eat or before.so then the floor manager was pissed and they all

were on my side.even the regular nurses were on my side. and told the boss

that i was never demanding that i did most things by myself and they couldnt

keep me down. so enough of that bull shit on to the medical . They almost

had to code me due to i was overdosed on morphene. I was getting it every

hour as u know in my IV 4mg. well about 2am i started having seizures and

uncontrolable body shakes and involitary yelling i wouldnt really call it

yelling but a loud weird noise coming from me. they called the doc he said

it was morphene related they gave me 10mg of valium and i was better by 5am.

i know that because i went to smoke with my nurse outside. then after change

of shift the morning nurse gave me another 4mg of morphene which i thought

she was giving me my zofrane not it was morphene.the rest is just what my

hubby and mom tld me. but when joe got here at 7am i was completley out of

it he could not get a response from me except severe thrashing and

uncontrollable muscle spasms. this went on for 3hours even after the valium.

they couldnt give me narcon why i dont know.but joe stayed by my side until i

came too which was around 5pm. then i was weak and tired.plus my badknee is

now swollen like a pumpkin from the thrashing.

so as u can see iam having a hell of a time. this place is going to kill me

yet.

i will be here untill after thanksgiving. the desidascan came back

negative.so yesterday i had a probe put down my nose into throat and stomach

to measure the PH level and reflux stuff for 24 hours. at least its not as

bad as the ng tube.

if this is negative then my surgion and gi docs are going to do an

exploritory laporoscopy and take the gall bladder out. on top of all this

iam in the worst stills flare that i have ever had since the first one its

almost as bad as the origianl flare. having night fevers and sweats,sore

throat rash and pain severe pain. didnt feel it while i was on the

morphene/LOL.

thanks for listening to me vent its almost 7am here and i have been up since

around 3 am when i woke up drenched and had to change clothes and bedding.

if you could pass the info along to Trish and the rest of the group i would

really appreciate it. let trish know i dont have her email addy here at the

hospital. and i may call her tonight or friday.again thanks for listeng and

letting me vent.

love ya
