26 December 2022

 I was recalling December 26th when I went to see Randy at George Pearson Centre and discovered he was in medical distress.  He was out-of-it.  I called for someone to call 911 and no one did.  I do not know what they did as they ignored him and they waited one hour at which time I called 911 and was told that GPC had just called 911and they were on their way.  When the paramedic looked at Randy, she said to the GPC staff why did not someone call 911 earlier. The woman was pissed off. She wanted to know why the heart monitor was shut off.  The GPC staff just stood there saying nothing.  Randy was taken to VGH Emergency and I waited for three hours before his heart rate decreased to a reasonable level.  He would have died that night if I was not there.  The staff at GPC would have just let him die.  I do not know why VCH and 911 did not investigate why GPC staff did not attend to Randy sooner. At VGH they wanted to disconnect his life support.

Those with DNRs die sooner than those without DNRs. I did not want my husband to have a DNR.

 From Wikipedia.

Patients with DNR therefore die sooner, even from causes unrelated to CPR. A study grouped 26,300 very sick hospital patients in 2006-10 from the sickest to the healthiest, using a detailed scale from 0 to 44. They compared survival for patients at the same level, with and without DNR orders. In the healthiest group, 69% of those without DNR survived to leave the hospital, while only 7% of equally healthy patients with DNR survived. In the next-healthiest group, 53% of those without DNR survived, and 6% of those with DNR. Among the sickest patients, 6% of those without DNR survived, and none with DNR.[19]

If you want a better survival rate for yourself do not agree to a DNR.

Years ago Wikipedia did not report on these stats.

PTSD Injury

 The severe PTSD injury I suffered because of the way VCH treated me is still with me and at times gets very intense.  VCH did not have to target me with the revenge of one of their employees.  It was horrific and unconscionable.  One employee who believed that she was doing the right thing.  The first time I was interviewed by her she said that she had the power that she could make sure that I never see my husband ever again, not even on his deathbed.  And it came to pass.  It was many years ago but I can still hear her words...

November 21 2022

 Yesterday was a remarkable day.  I was free of the veil of being overwhelmed (depressed) to the point that I had the energy to do things that I was too paralyzed to do before.  I look forward to seeing that today will be remarkable as well.

Jordan Peterson

 I recently discovered Jordan Peterson and what I got out of him is that there are only two things we have in life and that is our reputation and the truth.  And the truth may not surface for three, five or seven years later.  And it does not have to be the truth that is narrowly defined by the law.

Double Down

I have been waking my body being soaking wet these past few days reliving the past litigation.  I am beginning to think that post-litigation is worse than when the litigation was ongoing.  I remember the lawyer for Dr. Dunn saying that he was going to double down with me: a harshness that was unnecessary. I can hear his words in my head now.  And why did Richard Singleton, director of risk management for Vancouver Coastal Health. also say the same thing.  Are they wife beaters.

Litigation dismissed...

 The litigation was dismissed.  I do not really know why as there are multiple reasons in my head.  I can't get a clear answer from anyone involved.  The best I can tell, it was a technicality (or technicalities).  When you are in a court hearing, things are happening so fast and you do not have time to comprehend what is happening. You can't reference YourTube. And then it is over and you do not fully understand why. To understand why I would have to engage a lawyer if I can find one who would be willing to decipher what happened, which will cost money. Since there was no trial, the allegations set out in the amended notice of civil claim are unanswered so they are still true. Dismissing an action only means that it cannot be litigated again.  It does not mean that the parties are cleared of any wrongdoing. I do not know why the defendants' lawyers insisted that the action be dismissed. You would think that the defendants would want the truth to be known. And I do not know why the hearing justice concurred with them. When I asked scheduling (the court) for an explanation, I was told that it was not possible to communicate with the justice. Maybe it is best that I do not know.

Telsas

  Awhile back I was at the bus stop waiting for a bus.  I noticed a group of white cars go by and it sparks my attention.  The cars looked different (new) and they were silent.  I followed them with my eyes and there were all Telsas  After that I noticed every third car that went by was a Telsa.  Later I checked the model out on the internet and I realized that Vancouver had the most Telsas in Canada.  It shocked me.  I was out of touch with the world this past decade.  Everything seemed different.  I looked up over Oakridge and I counted thirteen high rise cranes. The City is changing.

Sleeping too much

 I lost a day last week.  I thought Tuesday was Wednesday when in fact Wednesday was Thursday.

I am sleeping too much.

Mobility problems ...

 For over a year now I have been having severe mobility problems and I am fed-up with this distraction.  My aunt had problem with her legs as she aged and I wanted to knew the name of her doctor so I could converse with him as my disability might be heredity.  I tried to contact the executor of her estate and then the executor's lawyer. The lawyer followed the executor's instructions and would not give me the name of her doctor.

It has been twelve years and one month ...

 It has been twelve years and one month since Randy had his accident.  What a long time.  A decade plus two years.  What happened is still distracting.  I wish he was here.  We were supposed to die together, not this way.  His life meant something to me.

Not well

 I thought that emotional pain was distracting but physical pain is worse.  

for months  now I have been suffering from unrelenting pain.  I do not know what is causing it but I wish it would disappear as I have so many things to do and I can't do them.  

At the moment this computer is acting up and my phones the same.  I am going to get a landline as all this coputer stuff only works if you are a computer nerd.  

Because it is difficult for me to move I find I am sleeping a lot.

Russia Ukraine regional dispute

 Up until Tuesday February 22 2022 I did not know where Ukraine was.

And I do not understand the West sending in supplies/monies/troops into Ukraine.  Are we declaring war on Russia ... to think otherwise is illogical.

 I am watching Ottawa and I am reading that the authorities would be seizing pets of the truckers and to retrieve the pets the truckers would have to pay for the seizures.  It reminded me when I was told by VCHA after it seized my husband that I could only see him with security and I would have to pay security $30.00 an hour.  I could not even afford a bus pass and they were going to do this to me.

It has been twelve years since my husband had his accident.  Twelve long years.  I still remember the first time I spoke with the head nurse at George Pearson Centre.  She told me that she had the power to make sure that I would never see my husband again not even on his death bed.  She said this even before I was able to say a word. .I thought her crazy. But it came to pass.  I was sixty-five years old at that time. 


During my troubles only one person said a comforting thing to me.  She was a NP and she said that I was only trying to be friendly.  She was trying to apologize for the behavior of VCHA.  I am wrong there was another employee. I had forgotten about Marion. 


I am finally I think coming out of the psychological abuse inflicted upon me by VCHA.  First by VCHA and then by its lawyers.  Lawyers are suppose to ameliorate a situations but that isn't what happened.  I had to accept that they were just following orders from its client.. Where have we heard that before.

In April 2014 I had a lawyer for a few days.  This lawyer was referred to me by Carole Brown, who was at that time the manager of RayCam Community Centre.  I always wondered why she ghosted me after. The lawyer's name was Don Morrison. He also ghosted me.  I have always wondered what did he say to Carole for her to never talk to me again.

What is happening?

 

What is happening. I decided to get out of the house and walk up to Starbucks on 39th and Cambie. I noticed very little traffic on Cambie and when I reached 41st and Cambie the R4 buses were devoid of most passengers. When I reached Starbucks, only one person was in there and two employees. Starbucks is always packed.  And walking back I noticed the dense heave construction at Oakridge Mall was quiet.
Where are the workers. Dr. Henry said if you are not feeling well, to stay home. You do not need a covid test or a doctor's note.

Doubling down by YCHA ...

 My PTSD has come back to haunt again.  I woke up this morning with hearing the words from risk management and the lawyer for Dr. James Dunn that they were going to doubledown on my request to see my husband.  They imprisoned him and this was prior to COVID.   VCHA created an unbelievabble scenario equal to the scenario that my landlord created against me.  It is as if a lower level manager needs to prove his value by creating falsehoods and no one is there to no one to stop them.

PTSD and my world.

 I  thought my PTSD was being lessened.  But on Friday I received a communication which reversed this hope.  How cruel people with a sense that they can do the wrong thing continuously undermines our society. To avoid this new terror my body slept 24 hours until now.  

 

January 10 2022 at 3:17 am   I am still exhausted and mostly sleeping.  I am not doing well under stress.  

 

January 11 2022. Yesterday was another day most of sleep.  I did crave a glass of organic milk and I did go out to purchase a liter.  I reccently discovered the wonderful taste of organic grass fed milk and even at $7.00 a liter it is worth it. I am sure I will become addicted to it.


I do not like sleeping so much as nothing gets down.  


January 14 2022.  I am continuing to sleep much.  I wake up in the middle of the night (now it is 3:45 am) in terror and soaking wet knowing that I have to face another unpleasant scenario not caused by me but rather someone else.

The pandemic is over! The highly transmissional mild omicron variant is suffocating the deadly delta variant.

Omicron infection also produced immunity against Delta. This means someone who has been infected with delta is largely immune to subsequent delta infection. Therefore delta will soon have no one to infect, therefore will go away.
 
Omicron infection enhances neutralizing immunity against the Delta variantOmicron infection enhances neutralizing immunity against the Delta variant https://www.ahri.org/wp-content/uploa... Africa Health Research Institute, Durban, South Africa School of Laboratory Medicine and Medical Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal Omicron has been shown to be highly transmissible Omicron has extensive evasion of neutralizing antibody immunity, elicited by vaccination and previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. Omicron infections are rapidly expanding worldwide often in the face of high levels of Delta infections. Question Do omicron antibodies neutralise delta virus variant? Does neutralizing immunity elicited by Omicron also enhances neutralizing immunity against the Delta variant? Method Isolated the omicron and delta virus Tested these against the plasma of 15 confirmed omicron cases Used a live virus neutralization assay (Vero E6 cells were propagated in complete growth medium) Calculated the focus reduction neutralization test (FRNT50) Volunteers Previously vaccinated Unvaccinated individuals who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the Omicron infection wave Recruited soon after symptom onset We then measured their ability to neutralize both Omicron and Delta virus at enrolment, versus a median of 14 days after enrolment. Neutralization of Omicron increased 14-fold over this time, showing a developing antibody response to omicron Also Enhancement of Delta virus neutralization, increased 4.4-fold. Therefore The increase in Delta variant neutralization in individuals infected with Omicron may result in decreased ability of Delta to re-infect Also Emerging data indicating that Omicron is less pathogenic than Delta Therefore Cross immunity from omicron to delta may have positive implications in terms of decreasing the Covid-burden of severe disease. More science The ability of one variant to elicit immunity which can cross-neutralize another variant varies by variant Immunity elicited by Delta infection Does not cross-neutralize Beta virus Immunity elicited by Beta infection Does not cross-neutralize Delta well Participants in this study Many probably previously infected More than half were vaccinated Therefore activation of antibody immunity from previous infection and/or vaccination is possible Implications These results are consistent with Omicron displacing the Delta variant As cross immunity makes re-infection with Delta less likely (But previous delta exposure will not protect from symptomatic omicron infection) If indeed Omicron is less pathogenic than Delta The incidence of Covid-19 severe disease would be reduced Infection may shift to become less disruptive to individuals and society
