Infected feet. Can’t walk. Parked in nursing/rehab home for a couple weeks. Okay, you’re up to date.
Daughters were visiting and I was in a wheelchair. I started coughing really hard, as did a daughter. We both thought it was something we ate, but it kept getting worse. I couldn’t breathe. She asked what was wrong. All I could do was point at my rescue inhaler and gasp an approximation of ‘anaphylaxis.’ It seems that two brothers got in a fight and one maced the other. I guess I am sensitive to mace.
There is a rule here that forbids guests from keep any of their meds at their beds. If I hadnt ignored that I would be dead, so a couple people, the macer and the rulemaker, tried to kill me. Who knew rest homes could be so exciting?
Did the macing actually take place at the home, or did one of the brothers come in after having been maced?
My dad was in a nursing home three times over the last few years of his life. I don’t remember any rule against meds at the bedside. I can understand a rule like this for meds that the staff is in charge of dispensing (e.g. antibiotics), but it seems really stupid to apply it to rescue inhalers.
Nursing homes are heavily regulated. There’s probably a poster somewhere in the home with a phone number you can call to complain to the state. Maybe you should call it.
Self defense, I heard. Bro had already punched him. The Western Burbs have gone to pot with The Guys mostly gone and the Rule of Law in control. I can imagine how this woulda gone if Giancana’s mom were a resident. Smooth as sharkskin. ������
I was in a discount grocery store last year when I heard some kind of commotion. All of a sudden I could hear many people in the store coughing, and then I started coughing myself. When I got up to the register, people were discussing the fact that a woman had maced a guy who was trying to take her purse.
How are you paying for your stay in the nursing facility? My dad had medicare, and every time he was discharged we were informed that he had the right to appeal the decision. They’d give us a form with a number to call if we wanted to dispute it. You may have similar rights even if you’re privately insured.
Kids,kids, I got this. dropdad was an appeals judge for Social Security. If I don’t know I have brothers who do. But for the next three months I’m just on Medicaid and it helps pass the time.
I want a power chair but my VP of Operations (still my oldest) objects because I will use it as a crutch. Fine, she can walk with my knees, but I would like to go places and do things. The magical Abilify has done that for me.
She is my conscience, but nobody has done nuttin to adress my knees, thinkinhg its tied in with my other problems. No, it is the arthuritis and I–THEY–have my xrays to prove it!
