--- Begin Message ---Hi Lori, Believe me, I thought that I was going to have a panic attack. I took little sips of my water, just enough to wet my dry mouth & I didn't want to drink too much, fear of filling my UDBag. Thankgoodness I have a 4000cc bag. Yes I was afraid my bag was going to burst or I would have autonomic dysreflexia, luckily I didn't. I am on M-W-F bowel program, so that wasn't a worry. Then 5pm Sunday a CNA showed up & brother was I pissed off!!! On Monday the Nursing Agency was apologizing. LindafDear Linda, If I were left for that long alone I would be dead. In fact, I would not make the first 24 hours because my urinary bags would be overfull leading to autonomic dysreflexia leading to death in a short period of time. Who helped you with urinating and/or bowel routines in that timeframe? Who helped you get drinks and food? Lori PS-- please forward this to the list if you would like so that they will know your answers if they have the same questions. -------Original Message------- From: LINDA FERRELL Date: 12/2/2006 1:03:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Agency Help Over the Holidays David I agree with you, all states should hold these Agencies more responsible. I know my last agency left me from Friday nite until Sunday with no help. I had dropped my mouthstick & my lifeline button was not close enough to reach. I just layed in bed & did a lot of meditating & singing. Lindaf
