Incredible!

Your care ( if you can call it that) just gets worse. Double Yikes!!

At least it was never dull. You know what they say. Things could be worse. And sure enough they were.

Please tell me this place no longer is open. And as some one mentioned in their comments of another puzzle. I hope you let some one have an earful after you left.

Again another great picture.

I'd have just gone home. I'd be better off by myself. I do hope you were able to report this ill treatment to the property authority. Some people might not be physically or mentally able to deal with this. It's awful.

I wasn't able to drive for quite a while because it was my right arm and it took several weeks before I had full use of it. I considered trying to do something, but I realized that the place had obviously been there a long time and I would probably be shouting in the wind as I had no proof of any wrong doing. I finally just took the path of least resistance because I wanted the ordeal behind me. I wanted to leave, but the orthopedic surgeon had put a metal plate in my arm with a long line of staples closing the incision and I needed to stay where it could be checked out. There was a nice nurse who did not work for the home who came by to look it over.

The kindest people show up just when you need them. I can think back over my life when it happened to me. I will always feel that God was watching out for me. He sent that nurse to you, other wise you could have been even sicker. I totally understand the path of least resistance. Sometimes it is just easier to put the past in the past. I am thankful you are here today, because you have helped me so much with learning how to create puzzles. I still have some that are not that good or no one likes, but I keep on going.

We just keep putting one foot in front of the other. That's all we can do.

Try writing a letter to your mayor or congressman making them aware of this situation. If you don't get any satisfaction then I suggest you go to the media and get someone to do a story about it. This usually lights a fire under someone's ass and something gets done. I'm not sure but I think here in Canada things are much better regulated and things like this don't happen. :)

This happened several years ago, so it's too late now. I'm sure they are subject to certain inspections and the last I saw they were still in business. If they were found lacking at any time, I didn't hear about it. Without proof there probably wouldn't have been much I could do except complain and get a sorry about that pat on the head.

They did the same procedure with my leg. Plate, rod, screws and staples. I was released within 24 hours after surgery (2 nights). I had an aircast and bought a scooter for mobility. Had crutches as well. I broke my right hand a long time ago. I think the leg is probably worse (not saying yours wasn't horrible enough). I was happy to be at home.

When they triaged me, Swedish didn't want me and told me to go to Harborview, which is the Northwest's major trauma center (after a 3 car ride from the ski area and 6 hours in the emergency room). The orthopod who was triaging was a hand doctor and they thought my injury was beyond their capability. My mom convinced Swedish to take me.

TV would have you believe that hospitals are perfect and routinely perform miracles on a daily basis. Not so. They're kind of like cops. Some good. Some bad. This same hospital was responsible for a whole 'nother story when I had my last heart attack. My doctor had me write up my experience with them so he could use it as the basis for severing his connection with the hospital.

Your last heart attack? Have you had more than one?

I had my first one when I was in my fifty's. Then I had ongoing problems with my heart rate jumping up to over 150 which sometimes would require a trip to the hospital. It wasn't A-Fib. I can't remember the long name for it. But they finally fixed it with a cardiac ablation. (Cardiac ablation is a procedure that is used to scar small areas in your heart that may be involved in your heart rhythm problems. This can prevent the abnormal electrical signals or rhythms from moving through the heart) Then about 5 years ago I had another heart attack that required a triple bypass.

Wow, you are strong! God bless you!!

Thank you, Susan.
