Well, I don’t think I handled the first one so well. All the problems were with the tracheostomy they did “ in case of emergency caused by swelling”. I told the doctor I’d risk death before I let them do that again, especially since the majority of nurses didn’t know how to care for it.
They allowed it to get clogged several times and had to call respiratory people, had to call emergency people because I started hemorrhaging, etc. All because of something I didn’t need but they refused to remove.

Thanks for letting me rant.

Rant away, dear FRiend....ANY time!

That entire tracheostomy episode was just harrowing to hear about. Nothing, compared to living through it, I know.

You are wrapped in prayers!!

A celebratory ice cream party will be in order!!
