I've moved the Posts from the Randy cell thred to here of my Moms battle for life.
as it just seams wrong to me to clutter up Randys' thred <GRIN>
so I'll try to chop it all out and see what I come up with and we can get back to discussing the Randy cell back on the other one ! HAHAHAHAHA
...
Bob.
I just got word that My Mom had a car accident last night and spent about 8hrs unconsious in the cold car on the side of the road before someone found her, she is in the hospital in the shock/trama ICU in Redding, so soon as the wife gets home with the car I'll run in and see whats what !
sounds like she'll be ok, has a few cracked ribs and a bit bumped up, but I'm thinking that she might have had a stroke , thats why the accident in the first place,sounds like the doctors suspect that.... she's a good driver and its definately not like her to drive off the road...something happened to cause it. so looks like I'll be fixing her car...
if its fixable, doesn't sound like it ! but no one knows where its at !<GRIN>
I'll call the Highway patrol and find out who towed it....they'll know.
...
sounds like Granny had a rough night.... and she certainly doesn't deserve that !
...
so my pressence here might be limited in the near future for a bit... but I'll still be here every day !
...
Bob........

Well,she is still Kickin' but not real strongly thats one beat up grandma !
the car is totaled, no doubt about that... I almost got in a fight with the fellas at the police impound yard I walked in and was looking at the car and these 2 guys about had a fit whe they discovered me .... biligerant as all heck and that pissed me off I told him if you ask me nicely I'll leave other wise we're going to have problems you and I !
and in the next 500 words he did say please so I turned around and left ... JERKS!
.... I've never been to a police impound yard before in my life and I'm supposed to KNOW that there is no tresspassing ? the gate was wide open and I saw no signs ( evedently covered by the open gate) .... but I sware you'ed think I was sneeking around steeling dope out of a wrecked car or something ! ...
Oh well, anyway Granny is ...I guess fair, I think she'll survive ok as long as the doctors don't Kill her with their medication....but she's in allot of pain from her back and very grogy from the head injury... My sister said she is allot better from yesterday though
she was concerned about her puppie dogs and I asured her their taken care of...
the doc finally gave her some tylnial or how ever you spell it non asprin asprin anyway...
and I am sure that will help ease the back pain... she is one tore up o'l gal bruses and cuts all over her, but the big worry is the head cuncushon , and if she can make it a week or so then she should be out of the woods.... however they did find that she has masive cancer in one lung and they figure she just ran out of oxygen and passed out while driveing
... the one doc told my sister that she probly had 6 months without an operation...
so thats not good at all... but first things first is getting her working on all thrusters again , she looked like she was realy doped up and I asked the nurse there and he said no thats frm the sub durmal hematoma and I said what is that exactly ? he said a bad concussion and some bleeding in the brain. I said Oh well that I understand !
she is so very frail that the doctors are cautious about doing anythng... and I think that is great ! I think in a few days she'll be grabbing me by the shirt collar and saying get me the "blankety blank " Outa here !
I know that the tylanoal er what ever it is will help allot because that is what she took for her back pain at home... and that impact in the car must have realy wrenched her back bad.... I hate to see her in pain, but as the Doc explained they can't risk any pain killers because she is alergic to Codine, bee stings and who knows what else !
and the last thing she needs is an alergic reaction... and I agreed completely and told mom "Tough it Out!" and I know she can do it, if she can get her brain working right again
hell she's the one that taught me how to control pain , I know she can do it... but it ain't easy when you havn't had to do it in a long time !...
so I think she's getting better... time will tell... then we can set a date for the Lung surgery.... I am sure she will look foward to that <GRIN> about as much as I would I am sure.... and I'ed have to be stareing death in the eye before I'ed go in ... so I bet she'll like that idea !
....
I saw that twinkel in her eye though when she reconized me , I am thankfull for that !
no body should have to go through that kind of pain... I talked to the nurse for a long time about her back , that it should have been fuzed years ago, and that when its real bad she wares a back brace... and they didn't know that... I said she is in pain can't you give her something to ease the pain ? and they finally desided to give her tylinol, through the IV I guess, she has more wires and tubes comeing off her than my Toyota truck !
Hopefully she'll get a good nights rest tonight and be feeling better tomorrow!
...
anyway, hell of a new years present to a very sweet O'l gal... but I guess ya gott'a roll with the punches, even when your 78 yrs old and only weigh 98lbs !
....
I'll let ya know what I find out tomorrow.
...
thanks for the well wishes guys, right now she needs all the help she can get !
...
catcha later
Bob........

That she's Alive Yes definately ! that she is in bad pain No... but I can't do anything about that I guess, just be there I suppose...
Mom and I are close, and I know its coming some day, but I don't have to like it !<grin>
.... I asked her if she knew what happened and she said Nooo... so I said "I bet you were driving along and all of a sudden you find yourself in the hospital uh ?"
she said yah ! ... that was about all I got from her, still mighty groggy...I told her what we think happened and all that ( heck, we still don't know!)
but I've been in the hospital wondering what the world happened and it is good to know ...even if its beside the point, the brain wants to know ! so it will never make that mistake again ! HEHEHEHEHEHE
....
actually she is in worse shape than I thought she was... but I think she'll pull through if the doctors don't screw up !... all it would take is one idiot give her codine for the pain and its all over....sense she is deathly alergic to it...
...Thankfully, my sister is making arrangements to stay up here for a month....
or I would have to move in with mom to take care of her, but Sis is going to do that for now... which takes a big load off my mind ! ... if I can get my pickup truck out from the snow bank I will drive it down and let my sister have it while she is here so she has transportation, ( she came up on the bus to visit and finds mom in the hospital after she called to have mom come pick her up... I bet she fills like heck about that!)
but I have about 1 and 3/4 feet of snow with about 4" frozen on the surface... I can walk on it easy without breaking through ! and about 75 feet of distance to dig out to get the truck free from its icy tomb... and no snow chains ! HAHAHAHAH
... so I'm lible to be huffing and puffing allot around here in the next few days
... I did get my garden tractor going but no way can it move in that stuff... with me on it it breaks through and the rear wheels just spin....... so its just to deep to mash down
...I was hopeing but no such luck ! hehehehehhe

Bob,
I was out splitting fire wood all day yester and today. Just logged in and am so sorry to hear about your mom. She'll pull through. My mom is a tough old girl too and also suffered a stroke recently. She is doing alright for an 84 year old. Your's will be OK too. If you have any doubt about the doc who is looking after her get another one. Don't be shy about that. You both are in my prayers.

Well, today she's not looking good at all, doc says if she don't eat she'll die... so I told her that I dunno if she hurd me or not as her eyes were classy and obviously suffering badly
I asked if they had given her anything for the pain and they said NO... so I insisted on them giveing her something and explained about her bad back... the nurse cam in and gave her some tylinol again in some apple sause and she got it down... when I left she was sleeping much better without the moaning and groaning that she was doing when I arrived.
... if she doesn't give up she'll make it, but if she gives up she won't make the night.
in all honnesty I doubt I'ed want to live with all that pain myself...and yet the nurses seam oblivious to it... I guess you have to shield yourself from it or it would eat you alive...
Man it hurts to see her suffer... even if it kills her, at least they should alieviate the pain, thats not fair at all !...
...
everone dies eventually and if it's her time then so be it, but she can do without the suffering ! thats down right mean.
...
I guess tonight will tell if she will make it or not, they took her out of trama ICU to just down the hall , but the nurse said its just a matter of time and I said "she wants to live she told me so yesterday and his eyes widened I said she's a tough o'l bird but her back pain is wareing her down... .. shortly there after is when he gave her some tylinal
... so maybe, just maybe they will calm her pain down enough so she can get ahold again
other wize she'll just give up.... I certainly would !
... so, shall see
...
I'll delete all these posts about my mom later, and let this thred get back to the "Randy Cell" where it belongs, in a few days.
....
Bob.......
