This one hit hard. I said goodbye to my dad 17yrs ago when he was 91, and said goodbye to my mom 8yrs ago when she was 99. I miss them both so very, very much.
My condolences to you Songbirds. I lost my dad at 91 in 2013, and my mum was almost 91 in 2015. I miss them as well. They will always be in your heart ♥. Have a wonderful evening Songbirds 🙂⚘️.
It's so lovely to see long-lasting happy marriages. I wish this on everyone to include myself. To know the comfort of having your best love with you until old age is wonderful. I'm jealous.
I remember going to my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary as a young girl. They "celebrated" their 65th at a care facility, but...separately as one didn't recognize the other because of alzheimer's and dementia. They would still be blissfully happy even now as they would be approaching 100 years of age had they not passed. I think they were married at 18 and 15.
I was a geriatric nurse that specialized in wound care. I have worked with the elderly and disabled up until the point I could physically no longer handle it after getting CRPS, a nervous system disorder. I miss it literally every day. I always felt and still feel that being a geriatric nurse was just a small way I could give back to those that helped us all become who we are now ❤️❤️❤️ it takes a special person to work with geriatrics and all the common illnesses our elder get and go through. I personal could never handle puting up with other peoples children which also takes very special people. Obviously all jobs take certain people and those that are in the medical field for the paycheck alone need to go because you truly have to love what you do or it shines through brighter than you can imagine.
I am a kindred soul. I too am a disabled/retired geriatric nurse. I loved my dear residents and patients. Unlike most people that ooh and ahh over babies, that is how I feel for the elderly. I am glad to be retired now, but I do miss the interactions and relationships I developed with them. I also trained as a wound nurse, but it was too hard on my back and body. Nursing is a very hard career all around when doing patient care. I gave it my all!
I can only handle my own kids and my niece and nephews other kids I just can't but the elderly man I can sit and chat and take care of them all day everyday I just love the story's and the experiences they've lived through and any advice or knowledge they have to share since I was a little girl I always had older lady friends I called them when I was a kid when I was 7 I had twin old lady best friends who made me cookies and would take me to church and I would draw them pictures and hang out with them and it would just make them so happy..
Brian I wish you all the best I pray that everything goes alright for you your family and yourself are in my thoughts and prayers I will also ask my prayer team to also pray for you sweetheart. God Bless 🙏 ❤️ 🙌 💖
I got diagnosed with COPD 5 years ago when I was 63, I am 69 years old, I never smoked in my life but was around a lot of second hand smoke, some days I suffer horrible with it it’s very scary. It’s ruined my my health can’t do so much that I have wanted to do
I'm 32 and just got diagnosed with COPD epilepsy and diabetes in May after being in coma on life support for 8 days I knew I had high blood pressure and knew I had the epilepsy but wasn't diagnosed yet but I have a question what kind of things have you had to deal with having COPD because I get so scared because I don't know which thing is making me sick at times or what to do .
@@ChellenBobby definitely talk with your doc about this, but the number one thing you should notice when you have a major issue with COPD is your oxygen number. Low oxygen levels can cause all KINDS of things to go wonky. O2 basically keeps your body going, yeah? So, keep those little finger monitors around. They can be bought at any store basically. now, which does what....COPD comes in 4 stages like a cancer would, stage 4 being the worst. My mum is at stage 3, has been a smoker for 50 years and even with COPD she's too stubborn to quit. She is on oxygen 24/7. There are different things to treat it, but it can't be cured and you can't go backwards like 4 to 3 or 3 to 2. Inhalers, CPAP or BiPAP machines which essentially force oxygen into your lungs while you sleep are things that are regularly used. They are loud and annoying to wear, but worth it if you want to live. Breathing treatments and steroids, etc can be used for treatment, but as always, every patient is different so your treatment will be, too, especially with your other ailments. When I hear mum wheezing whilst we're on the phone, I tell her to do a breathing treatment. Then I call my dad and tell HIM to make sure she does a treatment. It takes a village. Curious, was your coma from Covid? Keep an eye on your blood pressure and make SURE you take those meds as directed. Even as early as 30s, people can be diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Don't panic, over 200k people are diagnosed with it every year, but the main contributor is typically uncontrolled high blood pressure. I'm not a doctor, nor am I Dr. Google, but mum has COPD and has for 5+ years now at stage 3, consistently. She also has high BP, anxiety, and depression. Brother was diagnosed with CHF after a particularly stressful 2-year period. He thought he was dying, but he truly hadn't had time to consider a doctor until he had to call an ambulance. I also worked in medical for 8 years and you learn a LOT of things from the various situations. Number one, though...listen to your body. Call your doc, go to an urgent care facility, or the ER. do NOT be afraid to ask questions. It is your body. You'll learn. Just don't ignore anything you think is weird. Also, see if your insurance has a nurse call line where you can call them with symptoms and get guidance from them instead of a visit. They usually run 24/7 as well. Best of luck! You've got this!! x
I would think using fiberglass casting would be more comfortable, easier to care for, lighter and handles getting wet far better than the old-fashioned plaster casting.
That nurse is right the Elderly are amazing, beautiful people.
Elderly people are so tough, and I love their attitude.

Hugs to you. I lost my Dad 3 years ago.
I am so very sorry. Lost my mom 12 years ago today and lost my dad 3 years ago in 5 days. I don't like March!
I'm sorry to hear that, my dad died in 2008 from a suspected heart attack. 😟 I miss him all the time.
So sorry for your losses but know they had long lives and with you as their child I am sure it was good! 😍

Love Dr. Julian Humphrey's sense of humour, they only had one dog in the zoo, it was a shih tzu.

Good to see the elderly
As a 72 year old woman I am seeing lots of falls on here….scary stuff…I look down a lot while I’m walking around even in the house.
Thanks for the upload
I want to be as spunky and alert as June when I'm 85! I'm 62 and not even close to her spunk!
Brian I wish you all the best I pray that everything goes alright for you your family and yourself are in my thoughts and prayers I will also ask my prayer team to also pray for you sweetheart. God Bless 🙏 ❤️ 🙌 💖

Is this for real ? I’ve never had any experience with doctors and nurses like this in SC USA.
This is filmed in the UK not here in the USA.
Omgosh. Why did they not knock that gentleman out b4 straightening his ankle? I am not sure what they give then to suck on, but damn.

Does the use of pictures or some other very basic communication board help with expressive dyspraxia?
What pain med is in the green instrument I see patients breathing in? And what is it called? Thanks for any info shared
I believe it may be methoxyflurane...if you google "green whistle" it should give you more information.
Yeah green whistle.
They dont allow people to have them at home.
Its a very powerful paimkiller
@@Morgan-yl3ou it’s not a treatment used in the states, so my interest is peaked!
@@Grahamt978 thats a shame , wonder why ?
What's in that inhaler? Can I get some?
I broke my knee in 2018. Not fun. I am in my 40s. Can’t imagine doing it in my 60s or 70s
I didn't know Willie Nelson lived n Britain. Haha j/k☺
Interventi fanno tutti i pazienti perché hanno fatto intervento molto positivo e non fa parte di tutti voi cari pazienti bravi
Why can’t these patients sit up straight instead of dam near sliding down to the end of bed especially the patient with the terrible breathing issues
Because when you're feeling terrible, you don't worry about posture. Except when you're having breathing trouble, lying flat often feels best.
Because they might faint. It also takes effort on the heart and lungs to sit upright, which healthy people won't notice.
Milk in his condition 😮
Is this the Barnes hospital in st.louis? As in the Barnes-Jewish hospital. I was born in that very hospital.
No Barnsley .yorkshire x
