Guest guest Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 Thanks for the kindness in our response to my bad time. I hauled myself to the hospital (about 1 hour by public transit). My son was still in the hallway on a stretcher and in restraints. He was very sedated. Asked me for some sweets. Got him Gatorade chocolate and Jelly Babies. Not clear why anyone would have him dragged out of church when he's not done anything wrong. Upset that he's not safe even on holy ground. Can't understand why they took him in (he was holding a small Nepalese three sided dagger, used ceremonially for slaying dragons, which represents safety from demons to him), I told him he should be grateful he's not facing a weapons charge. He was still parked in the hallway when I got there, later he was moved to a private room in Emergency, there is still no room in psychiatric. No doctor was available to speak with. I'll go back to see him tomorrow. The only thing worse than an HMO is when you let the government run your HMO About the blueberries; funny how a person reacts to single foods (maybe amplified with MSA?) Peanuts get me at times when all other laxatives have failed. Nothing promotes diarrhea more than vegetables, the less cooked or worse. A secretary or administrator of some kind would most likely take more stress from me than even a housekeeper. I cannot keep in my head who to call what to pay, chronology is particularly hard. Much of the time I know something needs to be done just not sure what. I forgotten to pay bills, overpaid them, and miss appointments reliably by exactly 24 hours (either way). Not that I am daft or demented, it just doesn't want to process and with no one around to give me reminders it can get really piled up, with me overwhelmed. Stress is about the worst thing. Most damaging physically is that I forget completely to eat or use the washroom, and wonder why I might feel odd. Color coded pill boxes with time to be taken messages written right on them keep my meds straight most of the time. Have not seen any change in bowels since taking calcium antagonist, but then with upsets this weekend, it would be unrealistic to make any judgements. aletta mes, vancouver, bc canada http://www.aletta.0catch.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
