ups and downs
i'm really tired
steven didn't get home until 2 am
the surgeon had seen bobby in the er
put in another gtube and instilled contrast material and xrayed
they sent him back to the nursing home in the middle of the night
steven slept this morning
i was up at six
my friend drove me to chemo so steven could sleep
I called the social worker to tell her we would not make the meeting
THE NURSING HOME DOCTOR CALLED after the meetingTO SAY SHE DID NOT LIKE THE TUBE THE SURGEON PUT IN LAST NIGHT
SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS SENDING HIM BACK TO THE ER
I TOLD HER I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF GETTING CISPLATIN AND TOPOTECAN
SHE SAID WHEN WILL YOU BE DONE I CHECKED AND SAID 4:30PM
WE GOT TO THE HURSING HOME AT 4:45PM AND THE AMBULANCE WAS ALREADY THERE (OOPS CAPS)
I had spoken to Bobby's surgeon during the day, he was in the OR between cases. He tried to call the Nursing Home doctor but all he got was an answering machine.
I had a mini panic attack in the Nursing home because of the way I found Bobby all twisted in the bed with his head flat and the nurse said " you should have come to OUR MEETING" all bitchy like.
I had Steven take me part way home and we met my girldriend and steven left for the hospital ER and my girfriend took me home and then she went to work.
#2 son came home and helped me with supper (I can't lift)
I haven't heard from steven or the hospital aand I'm afraid to call.
Why are people so awful? I have been a healthcare professional, a Registered Nurse, since 1973. I had one "law" i always enforced.
Do unto others the way you would have others do unto you.
It worked.
Love to all,

Love right back.
So f...........
“Other than that, how’s your week been?”
*wink
Ah, f I know you have the courage to laugh… cancer hates a sense of humor as well. *wink
I am nothing but a practical thinker f, bear with me here. I am confident that there are caring and loving folks employed by the home that are in charge of Bobby’s care. Unfortunately there is no easy way to get around the gut wrenching pain of watching fellow health care workers make mistakes while they are learning the ins and outs of caring for Bobby.
Try to get some ZZZZZZZZZZZZ's.
I think I hate gtubes too....might as well go all the way with the positive negative thoughts...hopefully this time the tube will stay properly placed..
Stay Strong f
More Midwestern Love and Hugs
We need more people like you in our nursing homes and hospitals. Unfortunately I think some people are just in it to get a paycheck.
By the way, I'm still hatin' on your prevascular lymph nodes. I'm trying to recruit more to take on those empty spots. *hugs*
Thinking of you fairsCaPe.
{{{{{{cyber hugs}}}}}}
Still angry and crying. Good. Perfect, in fact. I'll turn all my rage, indignation and helplessness on those blasted anterior mediastinal lymph nodes. May you shrivel away to mere nothings and die ... die I say!!!!
Do unto others the way you would have others do unto you.
This should be a law in EVERYONE'S lives... and it's sad that it's not.
Oh Great One sent me here, and I just wanted to let you know I've spent hours today reading everything. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. And, I know I'm new here, but feel free to assign me a spot to hate. ;-)
Like I said before, "Hang in there". I love the scripture, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I try to live by it as best as I can. I think people in nursing homes and hospitals should be extra sensitive to those who are in need. A smile and a gentle word will do wonders....
There's a difference between you and The Dark Side,and that is that you are a good person. Good people always do unto others as they would unto themselves. It is part of the burden of being a good person that makes having to come into contact with the baddies an unnecessary pain in the butt during life.
Just be thankful that you aren't like 'the others'.
Otherwise, I can begin to imagine what you are going through - which, it seems, is hell at the moment. I hope that one day the picture is rosier but for now let's all howl together.
Thinking of you all the way over in Samurai Land.

OGO sent me here too (she is doing an excellent job really rallying us troops for you!) and I just want you to know that good wishes and cancer-hating thoughts are coming at you from across the Atlantic!
I'm having more than my share of dealings with the medical profession (high-risk pregnancy) and I get so angry when they don't ring to tell me stuff that affects me directly (I spent my birthday with steam coming out of my ears because of that!) The only way I find to get anything done is nag them till they get sick of me, which I hate doing. It's wrong.
Lots of love xx
Thinking of you.
Man ... this tale is starting to tick me off.
Thinking of you here in Kansas.
