Well I'm glad they came to your rescue. Did you tell them to bill your
agency?
Hope you two called your case workers and reported the agency.
I'd call the newspaper too. That way other agencies might think twice.

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!

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!

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!
