Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Vicky, It makes me so happy to see your post and I'm sorry you've been through so much in the past few weeks. I'm praying that things stay under control and you can have some peace for awhile. Enough excitement!! About the unkind comments from the emt's....I'm sorry that happened. I'm not a skinny minny either and I know I'd have been mortified and hurt to over hear those comments. The good thing is you did receive an apology, through your daughter but at least they apologized. Please don't let this make you reluctant to call for help if you need it. They are human, they made a mistake and hopefully learned from it. But don't endanger yourself by not calling them for help if you need it! Love you Miss Vicky!!! Beth-Moderator Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 UCTD 06/08 from Vicky herself!! HI everyone. I will do my best to try and type a little, I think I'm coming down with pink eye, not sure, never had it. Wow, what a month this has been, losing our Queen still has me in shock. I'vw tried to read a few posts she will be so very very missed. But when I was in the hosp, I tried to lay in bed, picturing her singing in heaven and smiling down on us. What an incredible woman, she will never be replaced, the attached song is for her. Well, I'm home, I had lost 52 lbs in 5 weeks, I was thinking yeeehawww, get that fluid off and some extra weight too. Well......come to find out, my kidneys were functioning at less than 50% I was so dehydrated. Then when the dr started pumping me full of fluids he told my dr I would probably go back into CHF the next day, that really scared my daughter. I have gained 16lbs back, we have to find that middle ground, enough fluids to function but not drown my heart ~sigh~. In the meantime, I'm really weak but I'm gonna make an effort to live what time I have left. Now for the part that made me cr, well, as many of you know, I'm not skinny, but I was so weak, I was dead weight when the ambulance took me to the hosp.I was incoherhant. I heard one of the EMTs say boy shes heavy , what I didn't hear but ended up finding out thru my daughter was they all started laughing and snickering. My daughter spoke up and said I dont think this is the time for that kind of copmment. They looked at her like deer in the headlights, they didn't realize she was standing there. One of them came up to her at the hosp and apologized and said it was very unprofessional, and said here, call my boss. My daughter saoid oh no need, I already have your bosses name and number. Boy that sure hurt my feelings, now I dont ever wanna call them again. Anyways that's all my eyes can handle for now, I'm praying for all of you, please take care and thank you for your prayers.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Oh, Vicky, I have to agree with MB!! Please don't not call the EMTs just because of something stupid a few said. When you need help, reach out for it. Just remember all people are not that heartless. I am so glad you feel well enough to post again. Just don't overdo. Get plenty of rest and take care of yourself. Hugs and prayers from me. I hope you feel better soon!!

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi Vicky I am glad you are out of the hospital and feeling better. It sounds wonderful to lose weight but not that fast. I am sure you taught those EMT's a life lesson. Take care . It was great to hear fron you.
