Hey Guys This is a first, last night Andrea & myself had to be put to bed by firefighters! It was snowing like crazy & our CNA couldn't make it & we called the on call Nurse which refused to come over. Then our owner of our Nursing Service wouldn't come over to put us in bed, I told her to call 311 & see if fireman(rescue team) would help us out. We really didn't want to sit up in our chairs all night. Shortly they came over & gave us our meds, emptied our catheter bags, give us water then used our hoyers to put us in bed. They were good guys! Lindaf wow, that's cool! i have two dogs, one that is VERY protective of me alone. i wonder what they do about situations like this. (i could always put them in the basement in a situation like yours but if a situation arose where i couldn't get them put away). i'm surprised they had to use a hoyer lift though. i would think that firefighters could do a 2 man transfer. anyway, i'm glad they came to help! dianna **************Ideas to please picky eaters.
