I had to get pulled out of the tub a few years ago.  At one time, I could get 
myself into the shower.  I had really bad spasms that threw me in, my legs were 
bent and wedged in the tub, I spent the night because I forgot my phone to take 
with me.  Long story short, my friend called them in the morning and they 
bailed me out.  They asked my friend to cover me so I had my privacy. It's nice 
when they go above and beyond and are really great about it.

Your story is much better than mine hehe.  I'm sure you all had a good time 
while they did it.  What a way to weather the storm.  I just cant believe you 
couldn't get the help you count on to get in bed.  My CNA is on her last 
strike.  Not only has she not shown up a few times, but then doesn't call on 
top of it.  I only use her a few times a week, but i count on her those certain 
days.

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!
