Ooo, I want to wring that guy’s neck with you! My husband kept telling me I was really ill & should go to the hospital. I was drinking gallons of water & juice & throwing up. I didn’t know I was diabetic & just thought I had some strange flu. Told Tim to leave me alone, I was tired, needed sleep & would be fine. Thank heavens he didn’t listen to me. Tim picked me up, put me in the car & drove to the ER. I was sick for two days. The doctors are right. It usually does take a while to build up to get that sick. If Tim hadn’t taken me to the ER, I’d be dead. Thankfully, I wasn’t in a coma, but I was barely conscious. My sweet husband was riddled with guilt that he waited two days, but neither of us had any idea what I was sick with. Feel quite stupid looking back on this episode because I had classic diabetic symptoms.
There is a law–believe it’s called depraved indifference–watching someone suffer & doing nothing.
Glad to hear she has a good nurse. I had wonderful nurses. They do more helping patients to heal than doctors. The nurses stayed with me & held my hand & told me I was going to pull through. Their positive, upbeat attitude helped me get stronger.
Kiss your sister for me. Tell her she’ll be well soon.
Hi Kitty Kat,
I am glad to know you can feel us with you. I want you to know just how strong the loving , caring support from our family really is. Just last month everyone helped me out with heart surgery, kidney dialysis and being on a ventilator. God really does hear all of our voices and our hearts lifted up together and he makes miracles . I am here and doing fine. Manny has empowered us all into this huge loving family. You and your sister are a part of us and together we can get through anythng. The docs thought they had lost me, but there was so much love and support wrapping me up that it couldn’t stay that way. I know that we won’t let go. No matter what we are here for you both. Loving hugs to you and your sister. .
Thank you even though we don’t know each other outside this i feel i have wonderful friends.I tell everyone i know about this page.I get good looks then iget the u lost ur mind look…But i know deep in my heart everyone is on our side.I’m so happy for u to hear ur doing great and i truly hope it stays that way for u forever.lol ur friend kat
did u ever have a problem with lung damage.the docs wont give me a how much percentage yet.And her heart rate stays at 120 or above.Should i ask the docs about that.I’ve never really asked to much about it.I know they said they are watching cardiac arrest…They said it looks like she’s headed that way…sorry 4 so many questions hope i’m not bothering anyone
See she was doing that for three days drinking gallons of water then throwing it back up like clock work.I wish my sister had a wonderful man like yours.I keep wondering if he would have got her there sooner she would probably be better by know but who knows…I’m gonna check into that law thanks that might help me.that guy really needs to know how it feels to suffer.thanks for the response.glad ur doing great…And her nurse works 16 hour shifts but it’s like she really is their to help her not to just do a job…
Please don’t worry about lung damage right now. I have a lot of trouble with my lungs, but believe me it is workable. There are plenty of medications and breathing treatments to use and they can help you get along just fine. I use oxygen too, but it is just like putting on your shoes, It really isn’t a big deal to use if you need it. All these thngs are workable just like using insulin. The only thng important is to get through right now. I will pray especially for her heart. We can deal with anything else as it comes up. Don’t worry about percentages for her lungs. The docs will watch for all things and will take a lot of precautions. We will all help, no matter what the situation when she is better. And don’t worry about asking too many questions. We are here for you. I am wrapping my arms around you now and sending a new big bunch of love and hugs. Keep hanging on Kitty Kat. We all love you and are with you. I know it is hard, but also please take care of you too.
I can relate. It’s the most unbearable thirst. Felt like my mouth & throat were a desert. No matter how much I drank, I was thirsty. Then whatever I drank, I’d throw up. I was curled up on the bathroom floor because I couldn’t be far from a bathroom. I lost so much weight.
Not sure if “depraved indifference” only applies if someone dies as a result of someone ignoring their suffering, so please let me know what you find out. Since he knew she’s a diabetic, just leaving her alone so very sick & doing nothing to assist her, it might be worth checking into.
Good advice from Saundra for you to please, please take care of yourself during this crisis. Sure it must be near impossible for you to eat right & get rest being so upset & spending a lot of time at the hospital. But, you have to take extra good care of yourself now.
Hi, Kitty Kat. I’ve mentioned you and your sister to the prayer warriors at my church, so there is no guessing who is praying for yo and your sister. Your sister is resting in God’s love now. I proay her trial will renew the faith of others and inspire people in some great way.
We are never truly alone.
Kit kat, if you believe there is intentional neglect, or evern if it is plain old stupidity, you need to talk to the police. If that guy has to explain his choices to a judge it will scare the crap out of him, so if they stay together this will not happen a gain.
This is just plain criminal…I don’t mind telling you I am ticked at the moment.
