"TEXASCowboy".. sheesh..NOT your fault!!! If it had said FLORIDA cowboy.. I could see me thinking you were from Florida. Blame it on my constant migraines and the meds, K? :o)

Thanks for all your help FRiend.

I think your right. This hospital is acting extremely irresponsible. It is obvious what is happening here. She doesn't have INSURANCE, and quite honestly,.. they want to get rid of her. I think a threat of a LAWSUIT is a good idea. It would sure get a notary up there PRONTO!!

Marilyn recognized the Doctor, Nurse and Alice the night before. Yet the next day they said she was incompetent to sign a POA?

They are making an ALREADY stressful situation a HECK of a lot MORE stressful on Alice and on Marilyn.

UNDUE STRESS? PAIN AND SUFFERING? I think this is the IDEAL situation for a lawsuit. I don't believe in sueing.. but there are times when a hospital BEGS to be sued. And this hospital is on its KNEE's BEGGING!!!!

That they didn't do the "recommended" surgery for a spinal abcess, but did antibiotics, which is NOT what is recommended, and is a HECK of a LOT harder on a LIVER PATIENT, was NEGLIGENCE, and MAY have cost Marilyn her life.

I pray it isn't so.. and I pray it isn't too late.

I'm only a liver patient, not a doctor, but I can tell you that my liver DOES NOT LIKE DRUGS.. and boy.. if you put me on all the things that Marilyn has been on.. whew!!!

Yet, you can do surgery, and MORPHINE is tolerated pretty darn well by the liver. In fact the liver takes MORPHINE WAY better than it would have all those drugs combined!!

Plus, she wouldn't have had to be on those darn antibiotics for that long I bet!!!!!!!

Anyway.. thanks for your help...and sorry about MY confusion. It won't be the first time, and it won't be the last. Bear with me.. :o)

LOL!
No problem, sweet.

I know migraines quite well.
Mine stopped when a blood clot left my brain and lodged in the optic nerve shutting down half the vision in my left eye.
It was a good swap, but I was blessed.

I'm very happy that Beach Babe had the alternate plan to take her out of that hospital.
I hope she doesn't have a lot of problem with the hospital administration in doing so.
They're so insulated from the real world that they begin to think they're God sometimes.
They begin to feel that they can dispense life or withold it based on the money available.

Please keep me posted.
God bless you for being a faithful friend.
