I might not be around as much as my grandmother has fell and broke a vertebrae in her neck, so with the potential for surgery and other things I’ going to be busier than usual. They just found out about it after being in the hospital for 4 days. I’m kind of pissed it took this long for them to figure it out they just put her in a cervical collar. Plus I’m worried about surgery in such a delicate area on a person her age they just can’t handle things like younger people do she is 83 years old. It’s been a rough month or so with all the crazy crap going on like losing power, water, and now my grandmother is injured. The worst part is I found out about all of this after getting a sweet deal on a Honey Baked ham for 25% off just because they messed up a slice. That’s the only good luck I have had so far lately. Sorry for the rambeling on about my life I just needed to vent some where. I hope you all have a great Christmas with your families and loved ones.
That’s terrible. I hope things work out for you and your grandma. I can’t believe it took that long to figure out she broke her neck. Seems like standard procedure to xray right away for these types of things. Makes me wonder how badly you have to complain for them to take something serious.
Hope things get better.

Hey DR99, I truly hope things get better for you and your family. I’ve had my own tragedies this year but with a lot of prayer and humor I’m pretty sure you’ll pull through like I have. I hope the power outages quit affecting you and the temps rise and the snows and ice leave you poor bastards alone. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
Thanks ChrisK
That’s unfortunate anytime of year, and especially difficult during the holidays. Some doctors need to go back to school. I have two friends that lost their fathers in the last week, both from misdiagnosed mundane illnesses. Positive thoughts for you and your family. Hopefully next year is better for you. Merry Christmas.
I hate to hear this DR. Payers for your Grandmother and family. Hope all works out Ok.
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Payers for you, your family and your Grandmother. Lets hope that 2014 is a better year.
Very sorry to hear. Prayers to you, your grandmother and the rest of the family.
Prayers for your Grandmother and family.
Sorry to hear about everything going on and that sucks it took so long to figure things out. Prayers for you and your family.
All the best DR!!
Thanks for all the well wishes she moved out of the Hospital to and in patient rehab facility which should be better for her than being stuck in a hospital bed.
Awesome DR99, still in my prayers! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Hope grandma gets better soon, come back and vent on the forum if you need to. We are thick skinned and non judgmental
