My mom lived with me and she had become bed riddened. The night before she died when i came home at 11pm from work she said she wasn"t feeling well and her stomach hurt. I gave her her med and turned on the Christian chanel. My husband said did I set the timer on the tv? I told him no I had a funney feeling about mom and I wanted to leave it on all night. About five in the morning mom hollered "oh help me". She said she had terrible pain in her stomach. We cslled the ambulance and took her to the hospital. She was 86 years old and the family had decided we wouldn't do any heroic measures. The x-rays showed a perforated omentum. I told the Dr to order hospice and i was taking her home. She only woke up once inthe hospital when my husband came into er. She smiled and said "Oh Jose" She slipped into a coma and we took her home. Hospice nurse came AND WE GOT HER SOME PAIN MEDS. MY BROTHER, SISTER IN LAW, HUSBAND AND TWO FRIENDS HAD BEEN THERE ALL DAY. aT 7 PM I SENT THEM ALL OUT TO DO THINGS. MY DAD HAD DIED BACK IN 1974 AND MY SISTER JUDY 8 MONTHS BEFORE.i WAS SITING WITH MOM AND SAID TO HER "MOM YOU NEED YOUR NAILS CUT" I PROCEDDED TO CUT HER NAILS AND THEN CRY AND SAY TO HER 'i DIDN'T EVEN NICK YOU THIS TIME" GOD KNOWS THAT I Can't handle long drawnout suffering. Crying I prayed "Jesus, send daddy AND JUDE TO COME GET MOM" SHE TOOK ONE MORE BREATH AND DIED. I KNOW GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYER AND MY DAD and sister came to take mom to heaven. NURSEY46

hi emsboss- I hurt my back back in 1979 in the OR. I have benn on workmans comp since then and they still pay my doctors bills and meds. I have never been black balled and have gone back to OR, PACUand several home health Agencys. Report it right away. It is against the law to deney you work due to past injuries if you can perform your duties. If you can't they need to offer you retraining or a job you can do. Good luck nursey46
