| Mental Health and the Role of a Caregiver - Associated Content Posted: 15 Sep 2010 06:17 PM PDT #3 A Caregiver is not always in tune to their own emotions because they are constantly concentrating on the emotional health of the ones they are caring for. #4 A Caregiver is terrified of getting sick or picking up a disease because this reality would mean that her ability to care for the disabled person in her care would be limited. Who will care for Mitch if I get sick, #5 Life can get frustrating with so many pressures, demands, and disappointments #6 Life gets lonely as family and friends go about their lives without you. The truth is most people don't hang around long enough to help long term. They have their own lives, and they want to live it and we have to learn to let them go without inflicting them with guilt. #7 The caregiver sometimes feels shame for how inadequate she feels, or for needing help #8 Exhaustion on any level: physical, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually: These emotions are not always experienced simultaneously, but at one point or another each emotion will be felt. #9 trying to hide these above emotions, and pretend that your life is normal The above is some of the things that a caregiver deals with regularly, and the only combatant is acceptance that your life is different than others lives, and that you can make the choice to be happy (because happiness is a choice). After spending some time in grief and mourning for the loss of the person "who could have been," had the handicap not occurred, many then choose to embrace the person for who they are, realizing that beauty comes in many forms. I think that disabled human beings are some of the most beautiful, pure and loving people that I have ever met. Then if one chooses, they can learn to develop a positive attitude. They learn that happiness and joy can be felt even in the midst of trial. Some of the emotions felt are: *Joy, in being in the presence of one who can so freely love This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| More men shop for beauty supplies - msnbc.com Posted: 15 Sep 2010 08:09 AM PDT Nelson E. Bailey learned the hard — and excruciatingly painful — way that the cure can sometimes be worse than the disease. The Palm Beach County, Fla., judge had surgery last October for diverticulitis, a digestive disease of the large intestine. But the 67-year-old found his stomach pain only became more pronounced following his operation at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach.
While doctors puzzled over Bailey's discomfort, it was a full five months before he was opened back up and found to have a 12-by-12-inch surgical sponge festering inside his body, left there during the initial surgery. Needless to say, Bailey was angry — and a respected veteran judge is probably the last person a hospital wants to face in court. They reached a settlement for an undisclosed amount with him, but Bailey also insisted he be able to talk about the case publicly. Health video: High school football star survives brush with death "I am not the same person I was before," Bailey told NBC affiliate WPTV in West Palm Beach. "I expected to get the same treatment anybody else got. Didn't turn out that way." Underestimated problem Bailey told the Palm Beach Post newspaper that he was in agony following his surgery, but repeated trips to his primary doctors, and repeated CT scans, failed to pinpoint a reason. Meanwhile, the sponge left in him was soaking up pus and bile, literally rotting him away from the inside. When he finally had additional surgery in March, Bailey couldn't believe his eyes when doctors showed him what had been left inside him. "I was expecting something the size of a kitchen sponge — I was shocked," he told the Post. Health slideshow: Conjoined twins now lead separate lives The sponge had done considerable damage to his insides, he added to WPTV. "When they opened me up, the medical report shows that [the sponge] was rotting," he said. "Because the sponge was left there and it was rotting, it created perforations in my intestines, so when they removed the sponge, they had to remove a section of my intestines as well." 'They nearly killed him twice' "It was the only time in my life that I knew I was actually dying," Bailey told the Post. His wife, Carol, along with friends, feared the worst. "Sadly, they nearly killed him twice," fellow county judge Peter Evans said. "If he wasn't such an ornery old coot, they may have." Indeed, Bailey remains ornery, and he isn't finished pursuing his legal options. He served notice on two radiologists of his intent to sue, and said he plans to sue his surgeon as well. He says his quality of life has been damaged by the medical foul-ups.
Bailey, with his long beard and gift of gab, is a popular speaker around Florida, performing as a "Florida Cracker Storyteller" from the late 1800s. He often informs and entertains at events with his horse, and he told WPTV he and Carol like nothing so much as to ride across the state on their horses. "I can no longer contemplate a day, or a half a day, on horseback," he said. Shelly Weiss Friedberg, a spokeswoman for Tenet Healthcare Corporation, owners of Good Samaritan, told the Post the hospital is bound by privacy and confidentiality agreements not to comment on the Bailey case, and said that the 90-year-old institution takes pride in giving safe, quality care to its patients. © 2010 MSNBC Interactive.
