Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

[CasketWeaver]

Oh my goodness, look at all that hair! In that last one it looks like he's trying to figure out why he has 2 of those! I just love watching the wonderment in babies as they learn about the world.

Yeah and I'm not trying to downplay things at all, I just figured it's sometimes we need to look at the brighter side of everything. I understand that a lot of bad is going on right now to some good people I wouldn't wish those things on anybody. But there is always light in darkness.

My son is definitely an inquisitive little turd. Always playing with his feet, always chewing on his hands, and his motor skills are getting pretty good.

As for his hair, the hair on the side of his head is longer than the hair on the top and on the back of his head so he has wings.

They had another problem with my meds this time I had to go 12 hours without. I never thought the withdrawal I’d get. I was litterly throwing up. They could tell tried everything to get the doctor on call finally they did then 2 more hours later they had them. I thought I was going to die. I see why they say the WD can ne life threatening if you have other health problems. I’ll make it till tomorrow. This is the worst I have been in well since amputation. Gee we had a special going home dinner. Not really but I will pretend it’s is. I’m glad when I have control my how I take my pills. They’re going to weight me damn it I’m down to 96. That’s bad. I better call my doctor friend. NOW

Well he said I need a feeding tube now. They’re need to give me 24/7 nutrition. I just can’t seem to gain weight. Nothing else at this point will work. After i gets 3 weeks of that surgery. I guess I am a pretty sick puppy too. I don’t know what to do. God I wish I had an vape.

Oh crap! Patrick. So sorry to read about your current events. I feel quite helpless out here on the cyber porch to offer you any direct help. But know we think about and pray for you guys daily, Best wishes friend.

Well just about ready to leave. I’m ready. Not feeling very good but this too shall pass. See you in the funny papers

Wait. So they're not keeping you? You're going home? I'm confused. What about the feeding tube? Were you getting your protein drinks while you were at the nursing home?

 

[lulu836]

I have another question..........didn't he say he worked for the railroad for 30 plus years? Doesn't he get railroad retirement?

 

[3mg Meniere]

He has had the problem with his digestive system for a long time. He can handle most of it himself. Ginny has a nurse coming in who could also help him with that.

Not mine. The feeding tube is another person. I'm hoping I'll be able to get out of this myself. If I don't I guess I'll just fade away in the night. I just don't know. Worse then that I don't think I was ready to get out yet so I don't know what to do. Open for suggestions. Sometimes, too many to count, I am really in trouble here. Ginny wants to be on the other side with her family which I totally understand but I just can't stop taking these pain pills. I did it for 12 hours recently and I thought I was going to die. I had no idea the withdrawal was so bad and most good rehabs for this do not accept what medicare pays. I don't know what to do. I need to be in a place that has medical detox or it is not going to work and the ones that are really good won't even come close to accepting what medicare will pay so I don't have a clue what to do.Things that have to be done and no place to get it done. I don't know what to do. HELP!!!!

 

[2legsshrt]

I've gotten myself in a hell of a pickel and no way out.It's pretty bad when you have someone like me wanting off and none of the good places that actually work which takes a medical detox that are available to people like me, an old fuddy duddy with medicare and medicare doesn't pay enough for people to use it to get off. I don't know what I can do, it's just not right. About the only way to do it is be worth a lot of money or have Dr.Phil to take up their cause. It sucks. Mybe I'll get hold of him and see if he'll help me out but I don't know if he is actually still on the air, Oprah already made him a millionaire 10 time over.

 

[DavidOck]

Talk to your PCP and see if he/she can coordinate with someone in the target area? Get them up to speed on your history and needs before you get there?

 

[2legsshrt]

Well now that I've seen for myself Ginny is not doing very well. It's still Ginny but not the way she was at all. And here I am sitting here don't know what I should be doing. This is really lousy situation. I know now I was not ready to be home but maybe it will get better. I hope so. This really sucks.

A pain doc should know what to give you. Something to calm your nerves and something to calm the smooth muscle tissue of your intestines. Get those two things and you will be through it in about 10 days. It won't even be that bad. Getting a few acupuncture treatments and possibly, massages, during the process might be helpful too.

Insist on seeing a pain doc or whomever prescribed them to you. If they are clueless, insist they refer you to someone who does know. You cannot just stop them by yourself; it may send you into convulsions.

{{{Patrick}}} I agree with David and Horselady. If you can figure out where you're going on the west side you can talk to your primary care physician about pain management services as well as the rest of your medical info. Moving closer to family will help you and Ginny a lot. Just talk to him/her and explain your situation - make a list so you don't forget anything - and let them help you. They'll know who to refer you to.

@2legsshrt The VA has excellent substance abuse rehab facilities. Who knows, maybe they will ship you to the one here.
