Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Thanks my Panc Pals, I am muddling through right now trying to stay focused. My brother is on occasional bp meds so since I had taken the same kind b4 I am using his to keep my pressure normal. I have some adivan a friend gave me so the shakes are not so bad. I went to the GI Dr's office today and Dr. Brenner had not written the note I needed for court nor for any prescriptions. Instead he left a note with the office manager stating that if my bill was paid in full he would consider giving me my bp meds and possibly something for withdrawals. He also stated that if I was having withdrawals I needed to go to the ER and it wasn't his problem as I was the one requesting such large doses of demerol every three hours. Last time I checked...a patient doesn't have the legal capability to write their own pain medicine schedules... I'm trying to stay busy and getting packed is helping my mental and emotional state. Just one week from tomorrow I will be in MN. Ironically, this tropical storm Isidore is expected to become a hurricane and hit my area early thursday morning...Guess where I will be evacuated to????? EAST JEFFERSON HOSPITAL!!! My brother is a paramedic there and immediate family are to evacuate there for all personnel on duty. Stroke of luck that I'll be where I'll get treatment whether the Dr likes it or not. Thanks Again for all your prayers. I will keep you updated.
