Guest guest Posted February 3, 2001 Report Share Posted February 3, 2001 I refuse to go into a nursing home. For one thing they won't take my 'boys' (they are only 1 1/2 years old). My parents are dead as is my daughter. I like my apartment and there are ways for me to continue to live here. One of them is a Hoyer lift which I will be getting in two-three weeks. Your parents can get a Hoyer lift and continue to take care of you. This piece of equipment is covered by medicare/medicaid, other insurance, or special groups. For example, I just recently was picked up by a program called COPS or Community Options Program that will pay for things you need but can't afford or aren't covered by insurance programs. My cousin and I were going to live together, unfortunately she died Dec. 20th while waiting for a liver. She was a nurse and picked up Hepititis C somewhere. Of course she was much older than me(we were 13 days apart in age) but even so we were very close. Please don't give up on where to live yet. What state do you live in now? We can start checking out different options now. Do you have a social worker? If not, talk to one. They usually have information for leads and can get your foot in the door. People in this group have great ideas along with tons of support too. Take care, kathy (kah@...) LovelyC@... wrote: Kathy, I have pretty much the same problems. I can walk to the bathroom and my bedroom with a walker, but for anything else I must use a wheelchair. I have trouble holding things, can barely write and have trouble getting up out of chairs. I will soon have to get a lift chair and if I ever get to the point where I can't walk at all, I will have to go into a nursing home. My parents take care of me and they can't lift on me, so I pray that I can continue to walk short distances with a walker. My children both live in different states and would take care of me if needed, but it would be to hard lifting. I seem to have gone downhill quite fast, but I will not give up. A.

I understand letting the docs make up their own new words and then finally ending up putting them into the dictionary, such as bovied, but what I don't understand is letting them do it when there already is a perfectly good word which is in all of the dictionaries and means exactly what they are trying to say by their new word, such as the use of the word adhesed, when adherent means the same thing. Just one of those things that can get me to griping. Why don't we make the docs use the English language correctly, rather than our making changes to go along with them. Margaret >> I agree with you Margaret, but I think in this particular case, the reason they used adhesed instead of adherent is because they want the reader to know they are referring to adhesions instead of just being adherent. Usually when I hear the word adhesed dictated it's in an op report and the doc is referring to adhesions. Interestingly enough, I looked in Dorlands, and under adhesion it says it comes from adhaesio or adhaerere, meaning to stick to From what I can see adhesion and adherent pretty much mean close to the same thing, except the little difference I mentioned... when they are referring to adhesions in a surgical case. I guess they wanted their own special word I only bring this all up because it would depend on now " verbatim " one's employer is as to whether one would have the latitude to edit " adhesed " to adherent. Since I was thoughtless enough to quote BOS's page # and not mention what it said, I'll do that now: " Verbs formed from nouns; a form of coined term. They are frequently encountered in medical dictation. Use dictated back-formations only if they have become acceptable through widespread use. Avoid other back-formations. Do not capitalize a back-formation derived from a capitalized noun, e.g., a brand name or eponym. The examples given are: Back formation: noun form: to diagnose diagnosis to dialyze dialysis to biopsy biopsy to dehisce dehiscence to bovie Bovie to heparinize heparin to digitalize digitalis ( I love the little note they give : Some back-formations that have been attempted but are unlikely to become accepted include prophylaxed (for prophylaxis), Life flighted (from Life flight), and guaiaced (from guiaiac). hehe.
