Can Use Your Vibes
Dec 18th, 2009 at 5:33pm
 
Kirk is getting slammed every 2 hours, with no end in sight.  Angry  He ran through 4 E tanks, and one M tank in two weeks. The O2 generators are barely enough (using 2 in tandem, gets about 14 LPM). O2 people from the VA aren't returning our phone calls.

The VA doctor will not get him a pred taper, saying only O2 and triptans are to be used for CH. I tried to straighten them out, requesting the pred. The nurse asked me how I know about it.  Roll Eyes  So, I asked her if the doc was going to have O2 delivered on Monday, since he's out of tanks (no), and I asked if the doctor was going to prescribe a triptan to be used with his heart condition. This doc is a TOTAL MORON. I explained to the nurse about CH, and asked her what the doc wants us to do. She offered a neuro consult.... after the first of the year.

I'm scrounging to see if I have enough pred laying around for a taper. Please keep him in your thoughts. This really sucks.

Praying for him now!  Wish I could get my O2 down to you.  Don't you just love government health care?

I'm sorry, I'm kind of new at this support thing.  I've never had it that bad.  I couldn't imagine.  I swear, I just couldn't imagine.  Is there any way you could see another doctor that would at least listen to you?  I don't know how the VA system works.

Wish that I had more to offer than words of support.   They seem so useless at times like this.  Cry 

Nevertheless, I hope that things improve soon.  Sending all the best wishes that I can.

    Been there, done that. Checked to see if you left some here, but no such luck. Sounds like you left it somewhere else, though. Sending prayers your way. I know, when it's bad, it's bad.

Trying to find help for you through USMC.  Unfortunately from out of state, but am trying to get advice on ways around an arrogant self-serving so and so who works for the VA because he couldn't make it in private practice.  Kirk and our other vets deserve far better than this!

To say I'm PO'ed is an understatement!

Praying.  That's all else that I can do, but I have seen it do wonderful things.

   Thank you all very much! Help is on the way. Remember that pain is just weakness leaving the body. Thats why we are all so much stronger than the idiots that we have to deal with.

I want to thank everyone who called, sent PM's, IM's and posted with support and words of wisdom, and drove to meet us. Someone found some pred we left at their house, and returned it today (thank goodness!!). It worked so far. Only 2 hits today, the last one was very small and short lived. What a difference that makes!! You all know what I mean. You all know exactly what the word RELIEF means to us.

I am continually blown away by the family here and the way we help each other. There is always someone there to help someone else who needs it. We are one big family, and you guys and gals are the best!

Jerry, I lined up an appt at a different facility for Wed. I've heard good things about it. I'll let you know. Thanks so much. Smiley

Hey Anchor Yankee, you are doing great at supporting. CH is indescribable. I tried explaining it to the nurse, and I just couldn't get her to understand. Unfortunately with the Veteran's Administration, it's not that easy to just switch docs, we had to go to another facility, and it had to be approved. Everything moves slow.

I know there is another care package coming, and I want to say thanks again to everyone. It means so much.   Smiley
