Posters may not be reading far behind their post so they say mine is difficult to understand.  I can't keep retyping everything over and over.  Help!

 

I do sincerely appreciate their concern and love!


 

Please tell this to your doctor right away.


 

Even better, call 911 now.

Re: Update ECBG

[ Edited ]

@ECBG   Please go now........worse case is ER will check it out, I would rather find out everything is ok.  With all your current issues (several), it makes no sense to self diagnosis.  People care about you, but two health care professionals suggested you seek immediate help.  You are putting yourself at high risk.

Trust me, @ECBG , your posts have been confusing and I've read every single one.  You have many cyber friends who are concerned about you and are trying to offer help and advice because we care. 

 

Often when we're sick we are not able to be our own best advocates, which is why we've been asking about your husband and family helping.  Not just to help you walk, but to talk to medical professionals and get you help.  You've described a number of potentially dangerous symptoms, and it sounds as if you need medical attention right away.

 

If your overall physical condition is as bad as you have described, please reconsider going to the ER today rather than waiting for an appointment with a physical therapist next week or whenever they can schedule you. 


I agree @ECBG . You need help. People have read symptoms in previous posts and you need medical assistance sooner than later. Waiting can be dangerous to your health.

Can we just trust women to do what is right for THEIR own bodies? This poster is now having judgement thrown at her husband and son and dil, plus nasty speculation aimed at her. Yes, we are worried by the symptoms she described, but she is the one having to live with them.

If they've decided as a family that @ECBG is better at home and will wait to be seen by a therapist next week, that is HER decision. Case closed. Leave it alone. Good grief.

I think, perhaps, the situation may not be quite as bad as we posters seem to think.  On the surface, it certainly sounds serious, but let's remember that @ECBG  has a habit of not explaining things well. 

 

I don't think it's a "dementia" thing.  She's had difficulty expressing herself for years.  Many of her posts don't make sense.  I'm not saying this to be mean - she just has a peculiar writing style.

 

I seriously doubt that her husband and other family members are unwilling to give her the help she needs.  I agree with @Lakelife62 that it's unfair to denigrate her husband and son.  

 

She has been told, on three separate threads, to seek immediate medical attention and refuses to do so.  She is also posting on other threads about other topics so it's obvious she is able to focus on things other than her situation.

 

For those of us who have read her many posts in the fashion forum, I think we all know that she tends to exaggerate.  Again, not being mean.  Just stating facts.

In my own family situation, my husband loves me and wants the best for me, but he is no longer reliable to make decisions like this, @Lakelife62, for us.  I have recently made big changes to our living situation to take this into account.
