50 Days Post Stem Cell

Got home last night (December 14) after going to the Ruleville Hospital by ambulance on Tuesday (12th). My stay at the hospital was an ABSOLUTE waste of time. All I wanted was to get a blood test and get my feet/legs x-rayed. I had to go by ambulance because I can no longer put either foot on the ground. I knew no one there would know anything about Lyme much less stem cells but I thought I would be able to show them emails about the tests CA wanted and go home. They not only wouldn’t run the tests I asked, but they wouldn’t contact CA!! They told me I had a UTI, which they later admitted I didn’t. That was their excuse for my low grade fever, which I still have. They brought the x-ray machine in and I was getting ready to tell them not to touch my feet or ankles, when, low and behold, they tell me they are there to do a chest x-ray which they told me didn’t come out clearly, nothing to do with my feet at all! At this point I thought I was dealing with a Dr just to find out he was a nurse practitioner. Next thing I know they have wheeled my bed into another room to do a video conference call with a Dr in Jackson who tells them to keep me overnight to observe me!! He knew nothing about Lyme either, but I guess they thought they were covering their asses. To make a long story short, I’m back at home, absolutely nothing has changed, but I am curled up in my own bed with my precious dogs and I am content. Trying hard to de-stress this weekend. Maybe next week will be better.
