FIRST OF ALL, SO APPRECIATIVE OF EVERYONE WHO COMMENTED ON MY DISASTER. MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH! PHONE # AT HOSPITAL IS 601-288-3043.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A BED BATH AND SHAMPOO? THE NURSES WON'T LET ME OUT OF BED BECAUSE MY LEGS HAVE TURNED FROM JELLO TO WATER. I TRIED STANDING UP THIS AM WITHOUT THEM KNOWING WITH THE ASSIST OF DAUGHTER AND TWO EMPLOYEES, BUT SOON AS I STOOD I COLLAPSED. SO DEPRESSED THAT DOCTOR PUT ME ON CYMBALTA. ANYWAY, DAUGHTER GAVE ME A BED BATH AND SHAMPOO, AND THAT FELT GOOD.
I HAVE BEEN MAJORLY ANNOYED BY THE DOCTOR NOT GETTING A NEUROLOGY CONSULT. ALL I WANT IS A NEUROLOGIST TO CHECK THE CAT SCAN AND MRI AND TELL ME IF I HAVE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED SPINAL NERVES. SO FINALLY TODAY A FINE NURSE, LISA,CONTACTED THE DOCTOR AND A NERVE INDUCTION STUDY WILL BE DONE TOMORROW, AND A NEUROLOGY CONSULT ORDERED.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY DOCTOR--A HOSPITALIST, HE IS VERY BUSY AND SOME OF THAT IS UNDOUBTEDLY IS DUE TO HIS CHARISMA.
HE LOOKS LIKE A MOVIE STAR, DOES THIS DOCTOR GRIFFITH. TALL AND SLIM, AND IMPECABBLY ATTIRED WITH A LAB COAT OVER HIS SUIT AND TIE. HE HAS DARK NEATLY GROOMED HAIR. HIS VOICE IS SOFT AND FRIENDLY. WHEN HE SHOWED UP FOR THE FIRST VISIT I SAID "IF I COULD STAND I WOULD BOW DOWN AND CURTSY TO YOU IN HOMAGE."

ps HOSPITAL FOOD IS TERRIBLE--I'VE LOST 12LBS, HERE PLUS
WHAT I LOST IN THE TUB AND AFTERMATH ABOUT 30LBS ALTOGETHER.
ALL IN ALL 30LBS. NO APPETITE AT ALL. KEEP ALL GOOD THOUGHTS ROLLING MY WAY. IF I DO NOT GET BETTER TEXAS WILL BE MY NEW HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER.
LOVE AND THANKD TO ALL,
SUSIL

MY DAUGHTER IS HELPING ME WITH THIS LAPTOP AND HOSPITAL WI-FI.
