For the pillow, I am 5'8'. I think it could help a ton. You can hug it as you go up and down off the toilet. Can you get a kitchen chair, to place in front of the toilet, back towards you. You can grab onto the top of the back of the chair or the back of the chair to help you up.. or even a 'high" toilet seat attachment.I'm so tall though, 5'9. Today I'm supposed to meet with my caseworker or call her, but my mom won't give me my folder. I had to email my brother and see if he can get the name out of her. She doesn't want me to get a medical bed, but I need it to get better. She said there is no room. This is a huge old house, but she is a hoarder and would rather have her boxes of junk than get me a bed. Today is the last day to talk to Medicaid or I'm in trouble.
Can you call the hospital? telling them that you misplaced your records and need to get in touch with your case manager? or ask them to have the case manager contact you.. Can the doctor, one of the nurses on the floor you were on, help you?
There are usually Patient Advocates on each floor, whose job it is to help patients. Just explain the situation. They will understand. They are very understanding of a ton of things, you may be embarrassed to admit.
The cane? is it wood or is it metal? The metal ones have adjustments on the side, so you can make it longer, for your height.. if not Your MOM needs to return it and replace it with an appropriate one..
If you need a hospital BED, then GET one!! You need it in order to recuperate and become healthy!
Please think of yourself. We love you..
Oh, Honey: (I mean it)
Please pardon me, and do not take this the wrong way:
But, it sounds to me that you MOM is HIJACKING your health. She is making it almost impossible for you to recover and become healthy, both physically and emotionally.
You need to speak to your case worker. You NEED MEDICAID!
You Need Health Insurance. We all do.. please..
First step: call he hospital for help. Tell them that you were a patient in there, was discharged and desperately need to get in touch with your case worker. You "lost" the contact information. It may take a few phone calls, and a few forwarding calls, but you can do this. I believe in you.. I really do.. and I say it with LOVE for an EXCEPTIONAL person--YOU..
I am so sorry I am coming across really harsh.. M maggiedemi , You are such a kind hearted, sweet, caring person, who needs support.. You need help. We all love you..
We are supporting you 150% towards your goal. You need to start thinking of what is good for you, your future and your kitties future. This is the time to do so.
You have to have YOUR own RECORDS. You cannot allow your mother to take such control over you. I know it is very hard. and so much easier to say than do.. but the time is now..
Can you enlist the help of your brother with regards to your mother?
Sweetie,
It took a near death experience... You came out of it for a reason, a purpose. You need to find that reason. You want to live, and not be controlled or be in prison in your own house.
Please do not backslide. After having gone through and currently going through a horrible situation, do not stumble in your determination to get well. You want to get well. You deserve to be well... and you also Deserve all the help you can get. There are tons of people wanting to help. You just need to stay strong and ask for it.
I hope I have not said anything to stop you from continuing to keep in touch with us.
If I have gone too far, I apologize. I mean it. I love you.. You have so many people loving, and caring for you. Please do not throw it away. We will always be here for you.
He will get over it. Try to take a toy to bed with you. He is probably afraid of the cane.. try to make a toy or game out of it.. let him sniff it.. he will come around. He loves you...I scare Demi a lot. He doesn't know why his mama tries to jack herself out of bed with a cane
Morphine is pretty strong stuff. No wonder you could not follow instructions. It is very powerful, and addicting. Yes, there needs to be a note in your chart about how you react with it. There are other drugs that and e use din substitute for severe pain.no more morphine
M maggiedemi Please keep in touch.
Just ignore me and what I said, if it is to upsetting. I do not mean to do so.
I want to support you, and get you the help you so desperately need. What I have said is out of love..
((((Hugs)))) keep in touch on here.. please.. do not go away, again.
love and more love. You were in my prayers today.. at Mass and will continue to be...
