Yaaaaaa. I was upstairs when my legs decided to give out and I yelled down to my husband that "I think I have a problem". We have 14 stairs, so I butt walked down with Eddy right in front of me and me holding onto his jean pockets. Then he half carried me to the car and off we went to the ER. I could not have driven in that condition. In Missouri, if they hospitalize you, you don't have to pay for the ambulance. Janice From: Barbara Alma Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2010 2:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [TMIC] A very scary observation Does anyone, other than me, find it very scary to think of somebody who finds that they no longer have feeling in their legs and feet but decides to drive themselves to the emergency hospital?? I myself was paralyzed waist to toes on both sides, so it wouldn't have even been possible for me anyway. However, I have read that at least 2 times recently on this site of people driving themselves. I really have a hard time imagining anyone not phoning for emergency services. My husband wanted to take me to the hospital right away when this happened to me. I stubbornly thought that it would pass, and after about an hour when it didn't, he called our son to come home. They then decided to call the fire department for help to get me down the stairs so he could get me to the hospital. We had about 10 stairs "then" to exit our home. I wasn't willing to risk he or my son falling and then them having problems as well. After they checked out my vitals and assured they were all fine, they assisted in getting me down the stairs and into his truck and Pete drove me to the hospital. This way we didn't have to pay for an ambulance since it wasn't necessary, yeah! Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA
