I fell and had to call 911

I'm not resting so far. The pain keeps jabbing at me.

I can't walk to the bathroom so I had to use my bedside commode. This morning when I had my bath I couldn't get off the bed at athe all. My CNA did it all and placed me in the middle of the bed. Are you doing OK?

@OreoBrownie I am very sorry.

I don't want to go to the hospital.

@OreoBrownie AS someone who avoids visiting the doctor at all costs, I do understand that. There is an exercise / stretch to relieve sciatic nerve pain. A friend who does massages, but is not certified taught it to me. However, it takes two people (the one needed the stretch and an assistant) and may not be possible for all people. I didn't suggest it last night as I am not sure whether it would be helpful or more detrimental. On top of that, it was suggested by an uncertified practicing masseuse. The patient lies on their back and lifts their knees up to their chest. The assistant takes their arms and lays them across the patients legs. This stretches the lower back around the sciatic nerve and loosens any tension. Like I said, not an easy thing to do, and may be more detrimental depending on what other injuries you might have incurred, or what other pre-existing conditions you might have. I only suggest it here in case you ever wanted to bring it up to a physcian who may very well question it's validity. As is their right. Forgive me for the long reply. I hope you are feeling better today and hope to see you around more.

I can't go to the hospital cuz of hospice. Insurance won't pay for both.

@OreoBrownie ......Need to think about something else. Maybe then you can calm down and rest.

I'm resting now. How are you doing Rachel.

So far I can't rest. I've taken my meds. Hope they work..

I hope so too.

I hope so too. How are your babies?

The ambulance guy said the same thing but I don't think my insurance, medicare humana.

That's what the ambulance EMTS said, that I should have a caregiver for bathroom.

@OreoBrownie So sorry about your pain too..will someone be able to look after you then

I hope so too. I don't want to stay like this, but I'm on hospice and can't go to the hospital, my medicare may not pay for it.

I hope so too.

@OreoBrownie take care

@OreoBrownie Yeah, I'm for sure a different Wendy. I'm sorry. But, I'm still glad to hear from you and to know you're still about.

I didn't know you were here, I've not felt up to Facebook. I messaged you on Facebook last night.

Check your Facebook messaging. I hope I wrote in the right one. See the next discussion to see I broke my lrg.

@OreoBrownie Glad you are doing better!

Some better.

@OreoBrownie

I'm taking care of myself. I'm in bed, bed bound right now cuz my muscles have atrophied.

I will thank u.

I hope so too.

I hope so too.

@OreoBrownie You seem to be going through too many things!

It's been over a week since I've had this pain.

I really hope to also.

I didn't go to the hospital that time but I did the next time.

@OreoBrownie I don't like a hospital but sometimes you have no choice.

The nurse said my bones are turning to mush from osteoporosis.

I don't know what I said that was funny, but I had a sense of humor to the EMT that got in bed with me to place me in bed. I don't think I wrote that in my response.

@OreoBrownie so Sorry to hear

I still can't walk?

I am in a nursing home now.

I hope it never happens to you.

I am doing some better.

I didn't improve. Now I have a broken leg.

I am.
