Now Living At the Hospital
14 years ago
I am glad that I was able to see most of you guys at FC. I wish we could have spent more time together and spent time with those that I did miss. You may have noticed that I was limping most of the time. Things tended to get worse when Sunday came around. I could barely walk. I was going to stay through Tuesday, but I decided to leave on Monday instead because the pain was too great. I tried to leave the San Jose Convention Center parking garage, but then the car I was driving decided to break down. I had to have it towed. All while being in pain. I still haven't unpacked from the trip. In too much pain. I was riding in my dad's car yesterday to pick up the car that broke down when I sneezed and it felt like the end of the world. I was in unbelivable excruciating pain. I asked my father to drive me to the hospital. I couldn't get out of the car. I was all numb by the pain. The hopital staff brought me a wheel chair. The transition between the car and wheelchair was unbelivable painful. I asked for sedative, but they told me that I could not get one until I was checked in. It took over an hour to get checked in while being in extreme pain. I want to sue them for that. Finally, after an hour and a half they gave me something called Dedotti. I then had an MRI. The results came a few hours later. A bulging herniated disc on my L4 & 5. Same place as eleven years ago when I had the first herniated disc in the same spot. I am not sure how I hurt my back the first time eleven years ago or this time. I will take a cortizone injection next. I hope that most of these costs will be covered because all I have is county health insurance. I was laid off in August so no medical insurance through them. I am still waiting for my unemployment check for that. I have been told that it will cost $7,400 for the surgury out of pocket. I do not have that money so I am reaching out to my furry family for anyone that can help. I promise to pay back those that want to be paid back. Thank you for listening. For those that can come and see me if you want, I am at San Ramon Regional Medical Center San Ramon, CA. I am in room 228.
in any case, i wish you a speedy recovery, and I hope there is some resolution to this medical and financial trauma.
When is the surgery by the way?
Is there any way you can take out a loan or have your dad help you out?
What about something like Valley Medical? Thats a walk-in clinic and they usually do those sort of things for free.
Please let me know what I can do to help.
Dedotti -- Dilaudid (Hydromorphone HCl) perhaps?
Im glad you managed to make it to the hospital and at least find out what was causing so much pain. heres hoping for a speedy recovery.
*hugs lots*
I hope you'll be okay and get everything you need. :(
If it will help....I can bring you some "chocolates".....hehe
P.S. An awesome dancer as well! I used to dance for a living.
