Well GG is no longer with us. I am having an extremely hard time coming to terms with this. I worked with her for over 7 months and she was almost like family to me. Well thats how close we were.
This is how it happened.
Friday morning went like it always did and I left and she was in good spirits and very much "Alive".
Saturday morning I get a phone call from the emergency room at Memorial Hospital, saying that she is asking for me to come up and sit with her until they get her a room. They of course cannot give me any information over the phone, so I go up there thinking that this is going to be another one of her fake "I need attention" hospital visits.
She has only had been up to the Emergency room 5 times in the last month sooo I was skeptical...
I get there and she is laying there in triage, this time has more monitors and what not hooked up to her. Her nurse comes in and says that the doctor should be in any time now to give me some information and ask some questions. So I said ok.
He comes in and tells me that she has a fracture in her L5 vertebre... And that they were going to fly her out to Sparrow hospital to correct it, but with her lungs being the way that they were, she wouldn't make it past the anesthesia. He also said that it had been there for a while. A old break?
So he continues to tell me that she is going to be able to go home On Monday after the Physical Therapy people come up and take a look at her.
So they roll her up into a room and leave her there with me.
Apparently she woke up at 5am to go to the bathroom and couldn't get up. Couldn't move. So she pulled her cord that was by her bed at home, and the guy next door came and called her daughter, CP, who said call emergency and get her up there to the hospital.
I called CP, as soon as I could get a chance after they called me. I asked her to come up because it was more serious then they had thought. She had Spineosis of the Spine on top of having a fracture in the L5 vertebre.
So she is in a horrid amout of pain and they give her some medication and we had to wait to see what was going to happen.
Well she was there for a few days and was in so much pain that they gave her a small overdose of Morphine... and it filled her lungs full of fluid and suffocated her. Best part is that the doctor never got in trouble because her daughter CP never reported it!
I cry...
