Yvonne's in what was a Catholic hospital that is now owned by Yale, as are most of the hospitals in at least our part of the state. She has been moved to a room in the rehab section and when I called her she was in tears. She'd asked for pain meds - which she is told she can have when SHE feels she needs them but hadn't had in hours and asked to have her catheter bag emptied. That was around ten of 8. An hour later no one had come and she'd called one or two more times. Finally someone comes in and starts YELLING at her. Excuse me???? She does NOT deserve to be screamed at after what she's been through. Actually no one deserves that in a place where the are supposed to be helped. Well the connection failed on my phone and I couldn't get her back because her line was busy so I called Spencer and he went to the hospital to ream a few people out. She's mad at me for telling him. I'm not sorry I did. They do NOT have that right. She said she reported the aide who yelled, but still. She's in a position where anyone can take advantage of her. This is pure bullshit!! Spencer said he'll call me but I'm going to bed in an hour if he hasn't called by then.
He just called and I'm on the phone with her now. She's back to Yvonne and I'm happy about it!
