SWU Physical Therapist Fractured My Mom!

Singapore
February 14, 2008 2:34am CST
Hi mylot friends. I have been away for so long it's because I have been battling with life. Recently my mom suffered a Fractured Humerous. A fractured arm done by her Physical Therapist herself. I pity my mom for her situation right now because I know how much she wanted to recover on her physical health and yet this thing happened. Emotionally, mentally we are very exhausted. I have filed a case against the people involved. Those people never cared at all. Never returned my calls or even visit my mom in the hospital during her surgery. Just last week, part of her fractured bone where the screw was attached had been broken again. So the doc scheduled another surgery. ..But my mom after the 1st surgery, didn't have the appetite to eat anymore. And just last week stayed in the hospital for more than a week to recover from internal bleeding and Kidney infection. Things have been so bad with my mom...pls. help pray for her. I had plans of taking her with me in Singapore but now ,,I am so frustrated. I have created a short video for my mom with her recent condition and have posted it in my blog. www.fillmyheart.blogspot.com I need all your prayers friends...Thanks for reading..

They say my mom is old..she's 67...and it takes time for her healing process. The first fractured ,according to the doc had healed but the second one needs to be operated again. I just worry that my mom wouldn't be able to bear the second surgery again with her health right now. Strength and prayers...ya..that's all I need Lakota.. Thanks.

Hi there, i knew you had been gone for awhile but did not know what happened..I know you have been very concerned for your mom,but had no idea what happened..I am so sorry to hear about your Mom..It was a poor therapist that broke your Moms arm, she has no business even being a therapist..Any unqualified therapist can do more harm than good...Please continue with your suit against that place that used that therapist,you have a very good case of neglect and physical abuse,don't let them get away with this..We will certainly pray for your mom,and please keep us posted on how she is....

I went back to cebu for a week..It was planned to be a fruitful one when I booked my ticket. Before this thing happened, I planned to take her to a restaurant and eat..or just have a real nice coffee somewhere. But then again, this happened. When I went back home, I slept with my mom in the hospital till I went off to the airport. I had no enough sleep and even haven't taken a shower that morning. All my things, I had to rearrange in the airport lobby. I just laughed at myself. Just so, before I went back I had filed a case with a lawyer. Those people involved in the case never really paid attention to us and even to my mom while she was in surgery . I asked the media's help,but still they ignored them. Thanks for the prayers slickcut. I will surely keep you posted. Pls. forward the video to your friends that it may help bring justice to my mom.

The pain, physically that she's feeling right now is terrible. She sms me one time that she needed to sleep by just sitting on her chair. ..she lost her appetite for several days...cannot eat and sleep well. I just wish this will stop soon.. God is only my refuge right now.

Sometimes I thought of it as "bad luck" or a twist of fate...But then again, I still use it to learn a lesson . It's hard to keep it this way while I know others are enjoying life with their family and loved ones..and me..here I am ..struggling with my mom. Life indeed is strange. I don't know who else has got a bad or worse problems than I have. Sometimes I question God.. But I cannot blame Him all the time. It's painful..it hurts..but I have to take this one step at a time.

Thank you for your prayers Ohara..With her condition right now, there's no way that I can bring her here in singapore...It's sad..Maybe it will take time. I have tried to give her my time as much as I wanted. When I went back to Cebu, I spent all my vacation days with her in the hospital. But with the situation that I am in, the debts that the deaths of my sis and my dad had left me, I have no choice but to continue to work here abroad to pay all those. Some people are blessed enough to be with their family and not go anywhere else for money. I just hope everyone here will come to realise how important it is to be with our loved ones...and if we have the time on our hand spend it with them for we never know what will happen. I am still standing tall inspite of my situation. Jesus is lifting me up. Thanks for dropping by.
