Dear Deputy,
I'm so sorry to hear that you are in such pain. It must be excruciating especially when you are trying to sleep.
I'm adding you to my prayer list.
Sincerely,
easytoplease

CSD member, "villieee" is a recent medical school graduate, maybe she could assist you. She's a wonderful sister in the Lord, and is a caring person. I think it is a travesty the way our Veterans are being treated!

Dear brother,
Lord JesusChrist is our Creator and Redeemer, our lives belong to HIM, nobody knows when death will reach us, may be to younger, healthier, people, only GOD knows it. However, we (God's children) are favoured to know and have the rich God's promises and blessings. We know, He'll come to take us to live with him for the eternity where there will not be DEATH nor PAIN, I'm sure you are being preparing for this GREAT EVENT. Remember, GOD is LIFE he still makes great miracles, you don't know what his WILL is. Everybody should live each day as the LAST day in this earth, I don't know if I'm sick now, but I try to live my last day, every day, BUT with a great, deep and intense FAITH in Christ. Nowaday, I'm living a big familiar problem, my brother (he's not adventist), 35 years old, has high blood pressure, he is getting nervous, he has seen psycologists, cardiologists and neurologists, they have told him his problem is the high blood presure, no more, however, he feels sick,I'm praying for him everyday, I trust on God, and I'm sure He will get finer. Place your life in God's hands and HE will DO, and LIVE!!!!!!. I'll pray for you everyday too, everybody needs of PRAYERS. I tell you "I'll see you in heaven, because you live very very far and it may be impossible to meet here. SMILE...GOD BLESS YOU.
Isabel

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus:
On Valentine's day, I had medical appointments at the Veteran's Hospital in Muskogee Oklahoma. Due to compression of the vertabrae against the sciatic nerves following the hour long drive, my pain level escalated from a normal 5, 6, or 7 on a scale of 0 to 10, after the long day walking from appointment to appointment, during a hoptel, " what's considered, a sleepover in a hospital room that night, because of next day appointments the following day," that night, I had lost conscienceness during a moment when I was emptying my ostomy pouch in the restroom, but I was not collapsing to the floor, instead, I was remaining standing up, something I thought unlikely to happen, but nonetheless, it had.
So afterwards, when I regained conscienceness, I had to clean up my pouch discharge, because I passed out after I had removed the clip retainer on my ostomy pouch, which, wasn't so much on me, but lightly,.... and more so, on the sink I rested up against, and on the floor.
Anyways, I went and notified one of the nurses on attendence on the floor where I was lodged, and she informed me to go down to the E.R., but when I had, I was told that the policy concerning lodger's didn't allow for services to lodger's, needless to say, I was concerned about this, said a few words of disagreement, and went back up to the floor where I was lodging.
I had lost conscienceness once more after I had returned to my room, I notified the nurses of this again, and that I was refused E.R. services due to policy conflictions, and that I would be making a complaint concerning this, because after all, it made no sense to me of E.R. policy in an emergency, as you might agree.
Well,...as it turned out, following my finishing of appointments the next day, I returned to the E.R. before leaving for home because I was still in immense pain, about a 9 an the scale, just short of passing out again due to the high level of pain.
As it turned out, someone of importance, apologized of the refusal of services the previous night, but the attending E.R. physician showed signs of non-belief that I may be faking my condition in order to get additional pain medication, but all I was interested in was a shot to relieve my pain to an exeptable level in order to get home.
But, to my further surprise, I was admitted for observation and restriction due to high fall risk and loss of conscienceness, even though no one had seen me pass out, but, it turned out that later, the next morning, I passed out again in the presense of an attending nurse and her collegues, because I was not allowed to do anything without notifying nurses on duty prior to getting out of bed for any reason.
I had discovered, I believe, that, due to the side-effect from my pain medication, which kept me awake for long periods of time, the very opposite of what these types of medications do to normal people,....that, it was necessary to administer additional medication, and to increase the dosages of other medication, which I was prescribed, in order to counter the strange side-effect of remaining awake.
My chief concern, as it were before this turn of events, is, snd remains to be, that, I am on a high number of dosages of different medications, of which, I am ordered to take several times each day and night, and for me, to be taking so many pills and capsules, at a time, and consistantly during the course of every day and night, with variables on the two daily dosages, so what possible damage may occur as a result of this, because, let me just give you an example of what I am taking at bedtime alone, which is slightly more than during the daily dosages,....I take approximatley 28 pills, combined, at bedtime, to cause drowsiness in order to obtain a decent nights sleep!
So,...let me give you a recount of my daily dosages. In tha morning, my dossage is 22 pills and capsules, and in the afternoon, my dosage is 24 pills and capsules, so my daily average is approximately 74 pills and capsules, so do you see my dilemma? I am concerned, that, due to the high rate of turnover for physicians at a veteran's hospital is, well, let me illistrate in my case, I have had 3 or 4 new physicians alone, between 2006 and 2007 to date?
So,... I am wondering, is anyone, besides me, aware, of the daily mass dosage of medication, that, I am taking, for I would prefer a much lower dosage with better case management snd results, and I have voiced this, over and over, again and again,... and I am amazed of this, more so now, due to the fact of the C-SPAN coverage of last week, of what is taking place, in the oversight committee, in the House of Congress, and in the Senate, over the facts at the Walter Reed Veteran's Hospital, considered to be the crown jewel of hospitals taking care of our past war veterans, and our returning veterans from the war in (*Afganistan) and the war in Irag, and please, forgive my typographical errors, because I think I mispelled at least one proper noun, see (*), and maybe a few other words, because I suffer from a deteriorating condtion from an injury and repetitive injuries to my back, resulting to severe damage to my vertebrae, discs, and spinal nerves protruding from in between the vertebrae, and now, it is irreversible, and causes repetitive motion injuries and swelling to hands, fingers, edema to muscle groups in the hands, arms, fingers, legs, feet, neck, back, and every where because it is progressive decay. I have been diagnosed with bi-lateral carpal tunnel syndrome, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, which mostly effect women, degenerative disc, and joint disease, and this is just to name a few.
Well,...I appear to be longwinded, and I am about to run out of characters, so I will conclude my request for your continueing prayers, may God richly bless all of us, and our families. I pray to see you in heaven, in Jesus.
