RE: Day 744: 5 Minute Freewrite: Sunday-Prompt: knee
Trust your intuition - and your own experience and knowledge (your sister in law KNEW what staff medical professionals didn't see). It's mindblowing, what all she has suffered in the hands of trained medical personnel.
Gotta resist the urge to comment further... this sets my teeth on edge... must focus on the fact that this woman with the fractured knee is going to RECOVER. yes. Complete recovery.
And this too (it's so true; my sister was almost killed when drugged with Fentanyl even though the doctors know she's on dialysis):
It is mindblowing!!! OMG! Your poor sister! We just found out today that the drug they gave to my SIL without anyone's knowledge had the same thing in it... Fentanyl!!! What is wrong with these people?!?! All my best to your sister.
Fentanyl (not that the hospital staff would admit to this) put my sister unconscious for two days and extended her stay to nine days in all. TOO LONG. My neighbor, a retired RN, knows that you don't give a dialysis patient a potent pain killer like that. LOSERS you almost killed my sister!!!!
As it is, she has never fully recovered from that 9-day stay. She's getting weaker, not stronger. Every hospitalization takes out a certain amount of stamina that a patient will never get back again, in cases like hers, anyway. TOO SAD is right, and I am TOO MAD to think about it, and powerless to remedy it.
All my best to your SIL, too, and thank you!!
