Default Hi

My son is a massage therapist,as well as physical therapist he made
me a batch of what Ak Kid reccomended,wow it helps,as well as smells
good.Also ice and heat is good and leg up.Well i just gave advice of all
off the above

Pain of any kind is no fun,i think that's why we should listen,and be more
caring to others.I do wish our Drs.out there in this world listen just a wee
bit better. I was a nurse for 25 years,i saw some changes before i retired
but not enough for everyone,especially for our eldery. They are more than
not sent home,either with a med that is to strong,which can in up with a
bad fall.Or dismisseded,ah your just grtting old.Pain is what tells are bodies
something is wrong,it should never be apologized to anyone,it hurt's!!

I recently reported a ER Dr.when my mother's best friend who now lives with
with me,78 yrs. old and usually very active.He fell in the living room hit his
hip,rear end area got right up,was ok for a day than he could not sit down
stand up or lay down but not sit down..He was in such pain,called his Dr,
said all he needs is some pain meds and i'm going out of town..He was in
such pain i asked for help here. Bobbi and AK kid helped.thanks again.

I finally had to get him into a ambulance sent him to e.r he got nervous
and said the wrong hospital. He always tells Dr. to call me,he wouldn't
did not check for range of motion no exray,sent the poor guy home in a cab,
The driver had to lay thhe seat down poor Bob was screaming all the way
home,the driver gave me his card and said lady i never seen anything
like.The Er Dr. after he found out i was a er (truma) nurse agreed to talk
to me.Oh we talked he made the mistake of saying oh you just don't
want to take care of the old man over the holidays!!He no longer works
there but will show up in a ER somewhere..Bob broke a bone in the pelvis
area,it had to heal naturally and after 7 weeks of standing and laying he
finally sit down. he still will have to be carefull,OH and the Spine
helped get rid of ER dr.

Hope everyone gets help with there pain and are listened to,never be
afraid to speak up and never be afraid to write up Sue Polyneuropathys
