Subject: Thanks, Hillbilly Author: dori [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:51:55 03/20/15 Fri In reply to: Hillbilly 's message, "Unbelievable" on 16:35:39 03/20/15 Fri Your prayers are very much appreciated. And I'm so glad Dale's experience went better. Supposedly, the reason they wanted Kathy to go home so soon was to avoid infection. That's a pretty lame reason, if you ask me. And why didn't they call to check up on her? I know it was the weekend, but to me it is a very uncaring method of patient care. They were shocked to find that she'd gone to the ER twice for the debilitating headaches--on Saturday and at 5am on Monday. We think those two episodes were triggered by the bacterial antibiotic they gave her. She took the first one on Friday night, after the meds from Thursday had worked through her system, and within a half hour the headache began, with searing, blinding pain, followed a couple of hours later with projectile vomiting. Her hubby had to call an ambulance Saturday morning to help because he really couldn't lift her or carry her, having just had the surgery. Then on Sunday she was getting a bit better, but still had the headache and nausea. Then she took the second antibiotic pill at 6 pm Sunday and within a half hour, the severe headache came back, but she didn't want to go to the hospital. She fought us until about 5 am, when she finally agreed to let Aaron drive her to the ER, a half hour drive away. So, you'll never convince me that those two doses of that antibiotic didn't have something to do with her condition getting worse. So we had her stop taking it and called her GP asking what to do about the headache and nausea that Monday night. He said she could double up on the pain and nausea pills, and that got her through the third night and feeling almost human the next day. Hillbilly, I think I witnessed what people suffering in Hell must look like looking at her face while she was suffering those headaches.
