Default Doc Appt. Fiasco..

Got all dressed up and ready to go at 11:00am for my appt at 11:30. DD got here right on time and I drove my indoor scooter out to the garage. Tried to transfer into mini van and could not do it.. We tried for a long time and I just couldn't lift my legs up into the van. Then I was weakened and slid to the garage floor in my brand new jeans.

DD couldn't get me up so called 911 and they picked me up and set me in my scooter...went inside and had a hard time transfering to sofa. Finally made it and I'm still here, sitting on one of pals potty pads. It seems that I hurt my good leg, in the fall and can get up.

I'm hoping my not so good leg will heal with rest and I'll be able to get up later. I guess, since I cannot go to the Docs anymore and he doesn't make house calls, I'll have to have a visiting nurse/HHC come to my house to check on me? Do any of you have HHC and if so how does it work?

Cry cry cry cry cry cry cry....soooooo down!! Help me get up please. Please pray for me

So sorry to hear about your fiasco. Thank goodness you were not alone. But you seem to be in good spirits. I'll say an extra prayer for you.

Aw, sweet Sally, ((()))

Does Medicare pay for a Medvan? They are so great for people who have difficulty transfering...

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this...I'm going to send out a special prayer for you...

Sorry about your experience today little Sally! Also glad your daughter was there! From what I hear visiting nurses can be very helpful when it is hard to get out of the house.

Could you have your hunks come over and help you to transfer on doctor appointment days? Do you have a nearby hunk that could do small tasks like this from time to time?
