OKAY~~~~ I AM HOME! I am not cured and have no diagnosis when I left the hospital (because I asked to go home) Had the worse experience ever! and I am still trying to get better here til I start seeing Doctors who have some credentials to even be called a Doctor! Please I know I should have gone up the road but I thought what would be the harm to go to Wharton Gulf Coast (big mistake) and that way I could see a Dr., get treatment and go home. Instead they kept me in the ER for 12 hours! yes I said 12 hours.... then they admitted me because my Potassium level was elevated and I was unable to urinate as much as I needed....or as I had been...They gave something to bring down my Pot., and it helped. Then the Dr. took no urgency or necessity to address my routine medications because as he stated he did not have the time to be bothered with this to the nurse. Thursday the same day I got released, I finally got all my necessary prescriptions. “SMH” During the “Day of the Doctors” (Wednesday) the kidney Dr. came in and said my kidneys had a shock to them but they are fine and there is nothing wrong with them. We need to get the fluid that is building up in my cells~~mostly my left side of stomach to drain properly through my veins and stop draining into my cells. Lasix is the drug for that…. Plus now I had been catheterized in the ER which was an experience on its’ on….. So he left on the upbeat on how to pronounce his name “DADA” Then the cardiologist came in….he said they could not see the right side of my heart in the ultrasound as well as he wanted but the left side looked okay and was doing its job. Said most likely that the right is enlarged and not properly doing its job but due to my size he could not see my heart in the ultrasound. So before leaving he said that I could lose 500 to 600lbs …..(now I am a large person but I DO NOT WEIGHT 500 TO 600LBS) so as I get my wits together and the nurse catches herself… I tell him how there would be nothing left of me if I lost that and chuckled….I said that I might weigh 400lbs and even a little more with all this fluid… and he laughed and said what one leg might weigh that! He was turning and walking out the door as he said this ….so I did not catch all of this. I did observe the nurse grasping on to her cart so she could accompany him to his next patient. (he could not document his own information) The nurse came in later and apologized for his rudeness and would report him to her supervisor. She could not stop apologizing. SMH!!! Then the lung Dr. came in~~~ Stated that I had some fluid in my lungs but at the moment my levels were fine and they would keep me on antibiotic and watch me. Should be okay and said it was a pleasure meeting me. Now its finally Thursday...Talked to Ginger Ann McMasters...my wonderful friend and said that I had not even had a bath....well things began to roll.....to be cont.....
