ViVi Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Dear SWEET, SWEET Angie, I just knew 'it' would come out sooner or later - that southern female "charm", that is! I could see it underneath that perfect porcelain shell. Actually TeeTaa, Teacake and I became masters of it over the past year (although we've always been quite good). So, if you need us, remember we're only a few hours away. We could catch the next Tyson poultry truck headed that way! Love, ViVi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayFrog Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Angie......kudos to you for standing up and making yourself heard!! Your dad is so lucky to have you in his corner. He's probably of that generation who doesn't like to "make a fuss"....even if he's in agony. Hoping the CT scan helps to resolve his pain issue. and Pamela......as a former nurse, it was my experience that the patients whose families were attentive, involved and very visible and vocal received the best care possible, even from health care "professionals" that, to me at least, weren't "professional" at all.......

Nushka Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Angie, since you are driving 2 hours, are you going to B'ham for treatment? If so, do you mind telling me where? I am currently in the care of the Bruno Cancer Center in B'ham and have been fairly pleased so far. I like your spirit....keep it up.

ellakc2 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Angie, I know the feeling. I feel for people that go through this w/ no one to speak up for them. You go girl. My dad who passed in 99 of Pancreatic cancer used to say. The loudest squeak gets the most oil. Good luck to your dad and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy RN Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 KEEP AFTER them!! I know from past experience-with my mom, that if someone doesn't push the patients who are the quietest are the last ones seen. I am still a nurse but I know of a lot of poor nurses out there-some just so overworked but still the same -poor. Good luck! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Sorry I missed this one.... I don't have any tar and feathers....but I have lots of stucco. Yards and yards and yards of stucco...Will that work? It's an odd shade of pinky beige, and some might think it's a sissy color, but once it dries its like cement. You did the right think in standing up for your Dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
