Be sure you have someone with you in the ICU

Be sure to have someone with you in the ICU and in the hospital the whole time....First of all I want you to know I love nurses, but they want you to sit up and test your swallowing.... I could not lift my head and I was suffering from severe vertigo. My husband had them call my doc so we got permission to Not let them try to lift my head, that I could do the swallow test laying down. 

I did not feel one ounce of kindness from them,especially since I was in crisis with my severe vertigo.

The nurses were getting pretty insistent that my husband leave, so we had to call my doc again.

The whole experience was awful and I think they probably would have tried to restrain me if my husband hadn't been there. I was so freaked out and would have totally lost it without him.

They finally wheeled me out, the last to leave, dreading them moving my bed....

I will tell you about the night on my next blog....
