| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Evie's surgery this morning went very well, although it took a little longer than expected. We are just very relieved that it went well, and tired as we were up very early this morning to see her before she went in. She is recovering now and I will keep everyone updated.

Well. We just get settled to sleep, it being close to 5 am here, and there is a call from the hospital. Seems Evie had a very bad nightmare and fell out of bed. The nurse on duty threw a fit, yelled at her, made some remarks about her being crazy, and left her lying on the floor for over an hour. Another patient reported the incident to a doctor, the nurse was immediately suspended and we were called.
We are just sick about it. Want to remove her from the hospital immediately, although she's nowhere near ready for that. We have been assured that this was an "isolated incident", but I can't help be worried how they are treating her when we aren't around. Not to mention how this is going to impact her emotionally.
Well, just wanted to write that. No replies needed. Need to sleep, but it's difficult to relax wondering what's going on at that damn hospital.

OMG...... I do hope that Evie is alright. I can't believe that they would do something like that. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. In Vermont we have the Visiting Nurses Accociation and HOSPICE. They work with patients recovering at home. Good luck and hope she is ok.

That's awful Jim, blooming awful. I hope that the nurse was fired on the spot. That is gross negligence. I hope that Evie's ok.
Get some sleep Jim.
Take care
