[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 385617, member: 3704"] Happy Friday Everyone!!! Marg, I'm just so sorry to hear about your frustrating day. I can't imagine anything else that you both could have done to help the hospital staff get their act together. It seems that so many different people are involved in health care today that the ball can be (and is) dropped along the way. We belonged to a health maintenance organization for many years where each of us had a primary care physician. I long for those day when our primary (and their staff) orchestrated our care. It was just so much more organized. My employer stopped providing this option (they say it was too expensive) and now our health care management has become a nightmare - lots of management on our part- and lots of missed connections and false starts like you and easy child experienced. I have a feeling that you will give them the lowdown on Monday! I truly hope that the next try goes much better for you both. Our easy child is back from his hike , he successfully completed it the first week in October. We're all trying to adjust to his return back to civilization. Although I would say he is a easy child, he's definitely on the hyper side , and the pace of life has really picked up around here ...LOL. I was very disappointed because his former employer offered him a good, solid job and he turned it down. He wants to move to Oregon and is planning that now. Of course, he's getting a lot of encouragement from me to secure a job FIRST!!! difficult child is settled into college life and seems to be doing fine. We are "hands off", and of course, the responsibility is all his. He seems to enjoy his math classes most of all, and I wonder if he might not change his major. I keep hoping that he will begin socializing more, but it doesn't really appear to be his thing. My good friend's husband passed away Tuesday. She and he have had such a rough time. He was very overweight, and he elected to have bariatric surgery last January. It went bad, and he has been hospitalized since then. He had been tube feeding all of that time, and the doctor told my friend it was time to remove the tube and call in hospice. Then, last weekend, the on call doctor tried to talk them both into reinserting the tube. This was needless stress for my friend and we are all furious about this doctor's interference at the last moment. It just really makes a difference when the medical providers are working together as a team. We'll be attending his funeral tomorrow. He was a great guy, he worked for many years in the rehabilitation counseling field. He had been retired for a few years, and he wrote two books toward the end of his life. Writing was his real passion. He will be missed. Sorry to end on such a down note. I hope that everyone has a peaceful day, with some moments just for yourselves! Valerie [/QUOTE]
