Well I just got home from my third stay at st. tammany,, IT WAS THE WORST,,,not for me for my poor helpless ,wonderful mom,, I went to the doctor at 10am yesterday and again he wanted to admit me b/c I was severly dehydrated and said now he thought I had something called, asmestosisisisis,, I can't say it,, its a narrowing of the hole and just needs to be dilated through the scope test thing,, so me and my mom are like ahhh not another hospital stay , but agree anyway,, so since Dr. O's office is right accross,, I mean 10ft from the ER we decide to walk from there and move the car after I am admitted,, We are walking out the office and BAM BAM BAM , my mom fall ,, I mean badly trips down 3 stairs and BREAKS HER LEG IN 3 PLACES AND NOW HAS TO HAVE A PLATE PUT IN,,, omg I was freakin out,, she was in sooooooooo much pain she was hyperventilating and me being a EMT, just stood there going omg, mom are you ok , its ok ,, omg mom,,,,What a jack azz,,,,,,,,,,,, I ran inside and yelled help my mom fell and out ran the doctors ,, they got her in a wheel chair while she is crying her eyes out and hyperventilating and roll her over to the ER, they take xrays and confirm its BROKE BAD!! the doctors looked at the xrays and said yikes, she broke the tibia and fibula in 3 places,, Since that hospital doesn't have capabilties to do surgery for her , they temp put it in a cast and finally after 45mins gave her pain meds,, I swear I was about to pull a shirly mcclain,, All the while I am about to pass out cold from being dehydrated and can barly stand up I was soo dizzy,, I had no one to call ,, I finally called my aunt and she rushed over , and me and my mom fought over who she should be with , I thought he , she thought me,,,, eventually I won , and I went and regersted myseld before I passed out,,Finally my mom wheeled herself up to my room and I let them go home and decided to stay by myself b/c my mom needed more care and had to go to a ortho surgeron this morning,, So I stayed by myself and hated it, and this morning they did a scope test and found I did have narrowing due to more scar tissue ,, this time it was in a different place,, He put me on a constant med that helps with digestion , since he said I obviously have a weak tummy when it comes to that,, and I felt sooo much better after the test,, I drove my moms car home after eating some broth and now I am home,, I AM SOOO TIRED,,, I am about to take a nap but wanted to update yall on my horrible journy!!!! I am leaving tomm to go to new orleans to now take care of my mom since she wonderfully took care of me the past month,,but wanted to tell yall I am up to 39 pds lost,, well that was the morning I went into the hospital , don't know what it is today and now I have had soo many fluids,, hope everyones well,, I am off to nap land!!!!!
