Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Truth is, I don't know about the emergent emergency for either person. Neither do they, apparently.
Years ago, (2014) when I fell, the paramedics came out and were going to transport me to the Emergency Room. I declined the transport, so I get it when a person wants to delay the inevitable treatment necessary. Falling does not make me an expert on falls. One minute you're standing, and the next you are on the ground.
The next day, I did go to the E.R. on my own. Had a broken ankle bone, was soft-casted, but hurt so much, I removed it. It was the kind of break that I could put enough pressure on to walk, but needed a support boot.
Returned to my PCP, who diagnosed a broken clavicle two weeks after the fall and broken ankle.
Those falls can get ya! Years later!
It was a common occurrence that E.R. x-rays missed things. For example, a broken rib in some patients, because it did not show up for days, explained to me by the E.R. doctor/surgeon when those patients went to his office for follow-up.
I had two falls resulting in a broken ankle, 2013 and 2014. The Orthopedic Surgeon found the first fracture (old) when finding the second fracture!
It was not found because the pain was in my foot, not my ankle, I am thinking.
Slowed down walking since then.
The persons who did not go to the E.R. yet, are still hurting.
Recommended Urgent Care, but compliance is low. I get it.
Of course if everyone is driving a pickup or an suv they might not be bothered driving over that 😝
Probably a good thing too cause Vancouverites tend to leave their brains at home when it snows.
One is about 61, and the other is 80.

My DH recently had one too. He was given the tons to drink type prep too 😖 but was also allowed some 'white' foods to his great relief!
He was like.. drink a gallon of goop, poo like crazy, get tubed up the backhole, one polyp got the chop. Done.
I'll do whatever if it gives me a chance of 5 years more of life.
I LOVE his new attitide! Way less Doctor & test shy - now all the-man-does-what-it-takes Super HOM (Hot Older Man: his suggestion btw).
I told him to do the same prep that I did. I opted for drinking the small portion instead of drinking tons of the other stuff.
Anyway, he wanted to do the same thing that I did. Turns out the stuff that I took for prep has been taken off the market. I have no idea why they removed it.
I loved doing the home test but when they detected blood I had to do the colonoscopy. It ended up being a polyp.
We both have colon cancer in our families.
The test itself is nothing. It’s the prep that’s uncomfortable.

NO! Stop it Gershun, you are not a violent person!
I am still giggling. That was too funny! Do you have any other torture techniques up your sleeve? LOL 😂
But you guys go ahead if you like. Fill your boots as they say. Actually rotating on a wire brush is too good for the people I'm thinking of.
Just saying...............;)
I love that! “Sit down on a wire brush and rotate!” Hey, you still have your sense of humor. That made me giggle!
Don’t we all know a few people that we would like to see them rotate on a wire brush? LOL 😆 We should start a list, just for fun!
Here’s my start,
Obnoxious relatives
Old bosses
Mean teachers (I hated my sixth grade teacher!) LOL 😝
Crappy neighbors
Okay, your turn, Gershun.
