Ok guys I know I have put this off too long and am in my last days if I don't get extreme care in the next few days. I understand. I am very scared. Yes I have now gone beyond being scared to go for the treatments and surgeries to even being scared to not go and cope like I have been doing. Eiter way I am scared.
Any Vets have any real experiences of being inside as a patient, like in prison?
Will I have any say so or choices or do I have to take what they think best?
If I tell them I don't want any holes cut into my throat, from outside will they do it anyway?
Are attendents or nurses all men or women, or both?
Are the surgeons for speciality tricky work supposed to be good?
If I have to have several different surgeries will they do all at same time or one at a time?
Does VA also do dental problems if I get through the rest of it?
Can a Patient use a cel-phone and charge it in a wall charger there? I mean, is it permissable?
If yes' Can I keep my phone with me all time? (Security from theft) That is when I get to where I can talk on it. (Hope)
Any chance I can get them to put me to sleep before any blood work and IV 's are started? I am terrified to the point of going instantly berserk and with incredible strength when anyone tries to put steel in me. Maybe now as weak as I am that burst of strength will not happen.
Does anyone know for sure what I can expect?
Is there TV in the rooms?
I guess a bunch of people are in same room?
Last time I was in Hospital for me it was a Military Hospital in Ben Hoi S. Vietnam. Is this going to be like a military Hospital in the VA?
I imagine I take some new clean undershorts, and socks, maybe a few T-Shirts (?) House Slippers (?) Personal care items such as Deodrants, etc (?)
I am serious this is no joke,
