- 0:18Speaker 1: We missed last week due to a lot of things.
- 0:23Speaker 1: I was sick and you were in a car accident. Mm-hmm.
- 0:29Speaker 2: This is a black cloud that's been over my head,
- 0:32Speaker 2: I feel like. Everyone keeps writing to me, girl, when
- 0:35Speaker 2: does it end for you right now? What's next? I said,
- 0:39Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
- 0:42Speaker 1: It's bad.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I got in a car accident. And it wasn't
- 0:47Speaker 2: my fault, thank God. It was a young kid. I
- 0:49Speaker 2: don't know what he was thinking. But I was on
- 0:52Speaker 2: a main road doing 50, and he just thought, oh,
- 0:57Speaker 2: now's a good time for me to shoot across this intersection,
- 1:00Speaker 2: even though this woman has the right of way. And he, yeah,
- 1:04Speaker 2: I hit him. His car almost flipped. He's very lucky
- 1:07Speaker 2: that I had good reaction time. I hit my brakes,
- 1:10Speaker 2: but I still hit him, you know. But his car
- 1:13Speaker 2: was teeter-tottering, like it almost flipped over. And I had
- 1:16Speaker 2: to go to the hospital. And that was more traumatic
- 1:20Speaker 2: than the car accident. I will say that much.
- 1:23Speaker 1: When you were texting me, this was, you know, this
- 1:26Speaker 1: was more traumatic. I'm like thinking to myself, what was?
- 1:29Speaker 1: Because when we got into the car accident, they didn't
- 1:34Speaker 1: do anything that they did for you.
- 1:37Speaker 2: I don't, Shauna, it was like one of those shows.
- 1:40Speaker 2: It was like ER shows. It was like Grey's Anatomy
- 1:43Speaker 2: when they're just all screaming and ripping your clothes off
- 1:45Speaker 2: and cutting your clothes off.
- 1:47Speaker 1: So when they wheeled you in, did you wait in
- 1:48Speaker 1: the hallway? No.
- 1:50Speaker 2: They were waiting for me.
- 1:52Speaker 1: The.
- 1:53Speaker 2: The ambulance guy, he kind of hinted. He said to me,
- 1:57Speaker 2: I'm putting you in as trauma. So don't be overwhelmed.
- 2:01Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot of people talking to
- 2:02Speaker 2: you and yelling. You know, probably like 20 people. But
- 2:06Speaker 2: you'll be okay. So, all right. I don't know. I'm
- 2:10Speaker 2: thinking they're all going to be asking me questions. So
- 2:13Speaker 2: the ambulance pulls up and we get to the bay.
- 2:15Speaker 2: And I could see into the bay window and all
- 2:19Speaker 2: the trauma units standing there. And I'm like, oh, what
- 2:21Speaker 2: are they doing? Having a break?
- 2:23Speaker 1: No.
- 2:24Speaker 2: As soon as my thing came down, they all ran,
- 2:26Speaker 2: swarmed it. Oh, a 40-year-old woman. Running me down the hall.
- 2:31Speaker 2: I'm like, what the fuck is going on? What the
- 2:33Speaker 2: hell is going on? I'm like, I'm okay, guys.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Did you say that?
- 2:39Speaker 2: In my head, I'm saying it. I'm like, I'm okay, guys.
- 2:41Speaker 2: I'm not dying. And then I'm like, maybe I am dying.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Maybe the ambulance guy knows something I don't know. Maybe
- 2:47Speaker 2: he thinks, you know. Then your brain starts going. And
- 2:51Speaker 2: they run me into the trauma room. And I'm just shaking.
- 2:55Speaker 2: My hands are shaking completely. And luckily, as they're all
- 2:59Speaker 2: pulling at me, they're grabbing my head to put me
- 3:01Speaker 2: in the neck brace and they couldn't get it on me.
- 3:04Speaker 2: And luckily the girl, this one nurse had the thoughtfulness
- 3:07Speaker 2: to say, honey, you're going to be naked. We're going
- 3:09Speaker 2: to take all your clothes off.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:11Speaker 2: And I said, okay. And in my head thinking, all right,
- 3:13Speaker 2: it's going to be like a doctor's office. They'll pull
- 3:15Speaker 2: my clothes off nicely. So I started putting my hands
- 3:17Speaker 2: down to help them.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 3:19Speaker 2: They grabbed my arms back down and they took a scissor.
- 3:21Speaker 2: They started cutting my pants off. They're ripping my shirt off.
- 3:25Speaker 2: The girl puts her hand behind my back and pops
- 3:29Speaker 2: my bra off like she's been doing that a million times.
- 3:31Speaker 2: And she was a pro. It was like, boom. They
- 3:33Speaker 2: ripped my clothes off in probably 0.7 seconds and my underwear.
- 3:39Speaker 2: And I was in shock. I was just shocked because
- 3:43Speaker 2: you don't expect that, you know, just like ripping at you.
- 3:48Speaker 2: And as they're ripping at me, taking my clothes off,
- 3:51Speaker 2: as soon as they got it off my arm, I
- 3:52Speaker 2: hear big poke, big poke, needle in my arm. Doppler on.
- 3:56Speaker 2: They were doing 20 things at once, and I was
- 3:59Speaker 2: just shaking. Because what the frick is going on? X-ray, this, that.
- 4:05Speaker 2: The neck brace was killing me, and I'm just laying there.
- 4:07Speaker 2: And then they want to see my back. So then
- 4:11Speaker 2: they're like, clear, we got a flipper, we got a flipper.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Cross your arms. And then they flip me over. I'm
- 4:16Speaker 2: completely naked. And it's like a bunch of male nurses.
- 4:19Speaker 2: And they're like, squeeze your butt. Squeeze your butt and release.
- 4:23Speaker 2: And on my head, I'm like, what is this? What
- 4:26Speaker 2: is this? I told my husband after he was not happy.
- 4:29Speaker 2: What do they mean, squeeze your butt cheeks? But I
- 4:32Speaker 2: looked it up.
- 4:33Speaker 1: He wasn't in the room?
- 4:34Speaker 2: No, he stayed home with the kids.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Oh, I thought he met you there.
- 4:38Speaker 2: No, my brother met me there. But they didn't let
- 4:40Speaker 2: my brother in. So I'm alone.
- 4:42Speaker 1: And.
- 4:43Speaker 2: He's like, they're like, squeeze your butt. But I looked
- 4:45Speaker 2: it up and I guess it's like a nerve thing
- 4:46Speaker 2: to see if your spine works. Like if you can
- 4:48Speaker 2: squeeze your butt cheeks tight, but I'm like, okay. Um,
- 4:52Speaker 2: very traumatic, worse than the car accident, worst experience of
- 4:55Speaker 2: my life. Not, I'm not saying that they were bad,
- 4:57Speaker 2: but it was the most, it was very traumatic. That's
- 5:00Speaker 2: all I got to say, because I was treated, I
- 5:04Speaker 2: was treated as if I was dying. And I got
- 5:08Speaker 2: to say, we always crap on certain hospitals, but even
- 5:12Speaker 2: though it was overkill, Because my husband was very upset
- 5:14Speaker 2: that they did all this. They didn't need to do
- 5:16Speaker 2: that to you. That's traumatizing. You didn't need that. You
- 5:19Speaker 2: should have spoke up. He was mad at me. Tell
- 5:22Speaker 2: me I should have spoke up and said stop. I said, Mike,
- 5:25Speaker 2: it happened. I can't even tell you how fast it
- 5:28Speaker 2: all happened. Like, fast. And I thought, what do you say?
- 5:33Speaker 2: You think it's normal, right? And you're worried, like, maybe
- 5:36Speaker 2: there is something wrong. Maybe they know what they're doing.
- 5:40Speaker 1: So.
- 5:41Speaker 2: I got to say, though, that they were on the ball.
- 5:43Speaker 2: And if you ever.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Too much on the ball.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Too much on the ball. Yeah. And very scary. And
- 5:49Speaker 2: then they put me upstairs and monitored me for hours.
- 5:52Speaker 2: And thankfully, I went home and I'm okay. I'm okay.
- 5:56Speaker 2: I'm sore. But now I know what the trauma unit
- 5:59Speaker 2: is all about. And I give them props because they
- 6:02Speaker 2: all had a job and they all did it at
- 6:04Speaker 2: the same exact time, which is very overstimulating for a patient.
- 6:08Speaker 2: And I feel for patients that are aware of that.
- 6:11Speaker 2: You know, if you're not aware, okay, you don't know
- 6:14Speaker 2: what's going on. But when you're aware, it's really scary.
- 6:16Speaker 2: It's really scary.
- 6:18Speaker 1: So they did not do that when I had the
- 6:20Speaker 1: car accident with my mom. They didn't even check her
- 6:25Speaker 1: for a brain bleed, which she had.
- 6:28Speaker 2: That's crazy.
- 6:29Speaker 1: And yeah, when she left the ER and came into
- 6:32Speaker 1: my room, she was holding her head and the nurse said,
- 6:36Speaker 1: I think you need to be checked in and get
- 6:39Speaker 1: checked out. And My mom goes, I was just released.
- 6:42Speaker 1: And the lady goes, really? That's crazy. I don't understand.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I don't understand what was so different.
- 6:48Speaker 1: None of that happened. They came in to my room
- 6:52Speaker 1: and I was up walking around. Yeah. And they're like,
- 6:55Speaker 1: you need to get in bed and you need to
- 6:57Speaker 1: put this neck brace on. And I'm like, for what?
- 6:59Speaker 1: I was like, if anyone needs the neck brace, my
- 7:03Speaker 1: mom needs the neck brace. She couldn't even sit up.
- 7:06Speaker 2: You came in by ambulance too?
- 7:08Speaker 1: Yeah, we both came in by ambulance. I was okay,
- 7:13Speaker 1: but they wanted me to be checked out because of
- 7:16Speaker 1: all my surgeries and all that to make sure that
- 7:19Speaker 1: the rod didn't move. But my mom was the one who,
- 7:24Speaker 1: she couldn't sit up. Every time she would stand up,
- 7:27Speaker 1: she'd fall to the ground. She had a brain bleed.
- 7:30Speaker 1: She had a TBI. TBI. What the hell? She had
- 7:33Speaker 1: a concussion. She was really... She's still messed up.
- 7:35Speaker 2: So she should have got that trauma unit experience.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Yes. Well, that's what I'm saying.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 7:41Speaker 1: She didn't get... Didn't even do an x-ray, I don't think,
- 7:44Speaker 1: on her.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Yeah, they did everything in that room. They did x-rays
- 7:46Speaker 2: on me, sonograms, the heart monitor thing, like, x-ray of
- 7:51Speaker 2: my heart or the sonogram. It was insanity. So maybe
- 7:56Speaker 2: they learned from that. You know, maybe that's what they're
- 7:58Speaker 2: trying to be better.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Maybe. You know? Which.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Hey, they did a great job, but thankfully I didn't
- 8:05Speaker 2: need all that. I really didn't. I didn't need my
- 8:07Speaker 2: stuff cut open, my clothes.
- 8:10Speaker 1: How did you go home?
- 8:12Speaker 2: My brother had a hoodie in the car, and he
- 8:14Speaker 2: had some sweats, so I just walked out like that.
- 8:17Speaker 2: But I'm like, well, there goes that outfit.
- 8:21Speaker 1: And that was a nice outfit, too. Yeah.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Because you left my house. Yeah, I had a nice, really,
- 8:27Speaker 2: it was not expensive, but a dress shirt and a
- 8:30Speaker 2: black Dress pants and they're gone. So, yeah, all for,
- 8:36Speaker 2: I mean, I was in a car accident, yes, but
- 8:39Speaker 2: it wasn't, it was not necessary.
- 8:42Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know why that guy put down trauma.
- 8:46Speaker 2: He said my blood pressure was high. Because you were scared,
- 8:50Speaker 2: probably shitless. I know, exactly. So, but next time if
- 8:54Speaker 2: someone says I'm going to put down trauma and if
- 8:56Speaker 2: I feel like I don't need trauma, I'm going to
- 8:57Speaker 2: be like, nope, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 8:59Speaker 2: don't do that. Because when he said that in the car,
- 9:01Speaker 2: in the ambulance to me, I didn't know what that meant.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I mean, I knew trauma is something serious, but I
- 9:06Speaker 2: thought he was trying to get me in faster. You
- 9:08Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 9:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Because that was my whole thing. I was like, I
- 9:12Speaker 2: don't want to sit in the hospital all night. And
- 9:14Speaker 2: I said, if they take me in by ambulance, am
- 9:16Speaker 2: I going to be seen right away? He goes, yeah, yeah,
- 9:18Speaker 2: you'll be seen right away. Doesn't mean you're getting home early,
- 9:21Speaker 2: but they'll see you. And then as we got closer,
- 9:24Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, your blood pressure's not coming down. I'm
- 9:27Speaker 2: going to put you in as trauma. And I was like, oh, okay.
- 9:30Speaker 2: And I didn't think anything of it. And then when
- 9:33Speaker 2: he warned me, a lot of people are going to
- 9:35Speaker 2: be around you talking to you. And it's going to
- 9:36Speaker 2: be a little overwhelming. Okay. No, they weren't talking to me.
- 9:40Speaker 2: They were screaming at each other. Where's the needle?
- 9:44Speaker 1: Where's that? Get that. Cut it closer.
- 9:47Speaker 2: I'm just like.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I would have said, wait. My shirt is expensive. I
- 9:53Speaker 1: will take it off.
- 9:54Speaker 2: I know one lady said, this is a nice shirt. Sorry, honey.
- 9:58Speaker 2: But I really didn't know what was going on. they
- 10:00Speaker 2: have you in the neck brace you can't see so
- 10:02Speaker 2: i thought she was just i'm like what is she
- 10:03Speaker 2: apologizing for and like oh there that's why she's apologizing
- 10:07Speaker 2: okay bye-bye.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Yeah none of that happened i mean we were in
- 10:11Speaker 1: the waiting room in like the hallway yeah just my
- 10:15Speaker 1: mom was on a stretcher i was just sitting there
- 10:17Speaker 1: in a chair and My mom's trying not to throw up.
- 10:21Speaker 2: That's crazy. Yeah.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Then they put her in a room. And then the
- 10:24Speaker 1: two ambulance guys got into a fight in my room
- 10:29Speaker 1: because I went to the bathroom.
- 10:32Speaker 2: You weren't supposed to?
- 10:33Speaker 1: And I wasn't supposed to.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Oh, my God. So they're like, you let her go
- 10:36Speaker 2: to the bathroom?
- 10:37Speaker 1: They got into a huge fight. And he's like, he said,
- 10:41Speaker 1: when your father comes, he's like, I'm going to leave here.
- 10:43Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm going to beat this guy up.
- 10:46Speaker 2: What the hell?
- 10:46Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. And I'm, like, texting my dad, like,
- 10:50Speaker 1: hurry up. Hurry up. And he's with the tow truck people. Yeah.
- 10:54Speaker 1: You know? It was crazy. Yeah.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Maybe they learned from that. I don't know if your
- 10:59Speaker 2: mom complained, but.
- 11:01Speaker 1: No, she didn't.
- 11:01Speaker 2: She deserved. She deserved the trauma treatment, not me.
- 11:05Speaker 1: She absolutely did. Yeah. It's crazy how they, each case
- 11:10Speaker 1: is different. Yeah.
- 11:11Speaker 2: I'm thinking that they're trying to up their game because
- 11:13Speaker 2: they did get a lot of complaints for a while
- 11:15Speaker 2: about things and. I said, even though my husband was
- 11:18Speaker 2: upset that I had to go through all that, I said,
- 11:20Speaker 2: I'd rather that than be brought in and sat in
- 11:24Speaker 2: a hallway like a lot of patients are and not
- 11:27Speaker 2: seen and not taken seriously because I'm like, that's worse
- 11:30Speaker 2: to me. I'd rather go through that traumatic experience and
- 11:34Speaker 2: know I'm okay than the opposite. So maybe they're stepping
- 11:39Speaker 2: up their game. You know what I mean?
- 11:41Speaker 1: My cousin's mom, she broke her hip. My cousin Chris's mom. Mm-hmm.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Who passed away. She broke her hip at his house.
- 11:51Speaker 1: She fell. And she sat in the hospital on a
- 11:54Speaker 1: gurney for something like four hours. She said she was
- 11:59Speaker 1: just like crying in pain. They couldn't give her anything
- 12:01Speaker 1: because she hadn't seen the doctor yet. So she couldn't
- 12:05Speaker 1: move because her hip was broken. She said four hours
- 12:09Speaker 1: before she saw somebody or had a x-ray or anything.
- 12:13Speaker 2: That's horrible. That's so painful. And you can get a
- 12:17Speaker 2: blood clot and die. So, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 12:20Speaker 2: I told my husband, just be grateful. Just be grateful
- 12:24Speaker 2: that I didn't have to sit there, that they really
- 12:27Speaker 2: did their job that night. So hopefully they continue that
- 12:31Speaker 2: for patients because no one should sit in a waiting
- 12:35Speaker 2: room in that much pain or in that much danger.
- 12:38Speaker 1: No, not at all. And how was your car?
- 12:43Speaker 2: We thought it was total. Now they're not sure. So
- 12:46Speaker 2: it's just been a nightmare, um, dealing with insurance. I
- 12:50Speaker 2: don't have a rental car and the, cause the insurance company,
- 12:56Speaker 2: I don't know, this one said they're going to cover.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Then the other one said they're going to cover it.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Then they're not covering this. And then they misunderstood my husband.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Cause he said, I want to see if my car's totaled. Um,
- 13:07Speaker 2: and so they thought that meant that don't, we won't
- 13:10Speaker 2: give you a rental until the inspector sees the car.
- 13:13Speaker 2: That's what they said. Oh, we misunderstood you. And they
- 13:15Speaker 2: just inspected the car yesterday. So now the car is
- 13:19Speaker 2: at a body shop. And I don't know. I mean,
- 13:22Speaker 2: as you know, it's just a long nightmare. And we're
- 13:25Speaker 2: just hoping it'll be over soon and I can have
- 13:28Speaker 2: a car.
- 13:29Speaker 1: It won't be.
- 13:30Speaker 2: I know.
- 13:30Speaker 1: It'll be months to a year at least.
- 13:36Speaker 2: I need a car. I need a car. I can't
- 13:38Speaker 2: just keep borrowing my father-in-law's. So that's the problem. And
- 13:42Speaker 2: then the rental car, you only have it for 15
- 13:44Speaker 2: days that they cover. So let's say that my car
- 13:48Speaker 2: isn't totaled and they're going to fix it. How long
- 13:49Speaker 2: does it take to fix? And then if it is totaled,
- 13:52Speaker 2: then we got to buy a new car. And that
- 13:55Speaker 2: sometimes can take a long time if you don't find
- 13:56Speaker 2: what you're looking for. So I'm just I'm stressed out.
- 14:00Speaker 2: We have too many events. Thankfully, I'm going on vacation
- 14:04Speaker 2: next week and I'm really going to just try and
- 14:06Speaker 2: forget everything and not stress anymore because I've I've been
- 14:10Speaker 2: under so much stress the last few months. I said,
- 14:12Speaker 2: I'm going to give myself another ulcer because it's just
- 14:15Speaker 2: never ending. Oh, and the weird thing, did you see
- 14:18Speaker 2: my bracelet in the hospital?
- 14:19Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I was just talking to a friend about this last night.
- 14:23Speaker 2: When they put me in the trauma unit, for some reason,
- 14:26Speaker 2: they didn't have my name or any of my information.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Which I find very odd. Yeah. Because the ambulance people
- 14:32Speaker 1: should have had it.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Everyone was writing me, are you a domestic abuse survivor?
- 14:36Speaker 2: Because they do that when they're trying to hide your identity.
- 14:39Speaker 1: I said, no.
- 14:41Speaker 2: I felt like they didn't believe me. I'm like, I
- 14:43Speaker 2: was in a car accident. So they put my name
- 14:46Speaker 2: as Devils. My first name was Devils and my last
- 14:49Speaker 2: name was Trauma 31. And then my band number was 666.
- 14:53Speaker 2: I was like, oh, hell no. This is not a
- 14:56Speaker 2: good omen. This is not a good sign.
- 14:58Speaker 1: But I asked my cousin who worked at the hospital
- 15:02Speaker 1: and he said, they just put anything in to get
- 15:06Speaker 1: you into the computer. And I said, Could they pick
- 15:09Speaker 1: flower or heart or love? Devils?
- 15:12Speaker 2: Devils?
- 15:13Speaker 1: And you were 137 years old?
- 15:16Speaker 2: 117 years old, yep.
- 15:19Speaker 1: So why wouldn't they just put that in? Like, why
- 15:22Speaker 1: wouldn't they put in your name, you know, Lauren, Lala? Yeah.
- 15:28Speaker 1: And your birth date?
- 15:30Speaker 2: Or a nicer word than devils? Like, why devil? Did
- 15:35Speaker 2: they pick... You know, that's what I want to know.
- 15:36Speaker 2: Is it automated and why would that... That name and
- 15:39Speaker 2: number should not be automated in their system. Or was
- 15:42Speaker 2: someone trying to F with me? Like someone knows me
- 15:44Speaker 2: and they saw me coming in like, devils.
- 15:47Speaker 1: 666.
- 15:48Speaker 2: It really messed with me. I was so nervous.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Well, my mom, she couldn't believe it. So she showed
- 15:56Speaker 1: it to like, she showed it to my cousin's mom that,
- 16:00Speaker 1: my cousin that passed away.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:01Speaker 1: To his mom. And she was like, that's not right.
- 16:05Speaker 1: That's not right. That's scary. Then she showed it to
- 16:08Speaker 1: my aunt. And my aunt said she got chills, immediate chills.
- 16:12Speaker 1: And she said that something wasn't right.
- 16:15Speaker 2: And that's what my fear is. And I feel like
- 16:17Speaker 2: this black cloud is over me. I've seen the number
- 16:20Speaker 2: 666 a lot. I've been getting receipts and this and that.
- 16:23Speaker 2: And I didn't even know my bracelet said that until
- 16:25Speaker 2: I was up in the room that they put me in.
- 16:28Speaker 2: And the doctor came in to give me medicine because
- 16:31Speaker 2: I was having a lot of heartburn. and pain. And
- 16:34Speaker 2: she went to scan my bracelet. And when she scanned it,
- 16:38Speaker 2: she's like, it says you're 117 years old. And I said, what?
- 16:43Speaker 2: And I laughed. And then I looked at my bracelet.
- 16:46Speaker 2: I'm like, I said, Oh, maybe the computer's wrong. And
- 16:48Speaker 2: I looked at my bracelet for the first time. And
- 16:50Speaker 2: I saw my first name was devils. And I instantly
- 16:54Speaker 2: got chills too. And I said, what the heck? She's like, what?
- 16:56Speaker 2: I'm like, did you see my name? And she went, Oh,
- 16:59Speaker 2: ha ha ha. Like she laughed. And I'm like, that's
- 17:02Speaker 2: not cool. Why is it like this? She goes, oh,
- 17:04Speaker 2: I don't know. She's like, I don't work in the
- 17:06Speaker 2: trauma unit. I'm like, yeah, but that name shouldn't even exist.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Who did that? She's like, oh, I don't know. She
- 17:12Speaker 2: just kept saying, I don't know. And then I saw 666.
- 17:14Speaker 2: I said, oh, come on. I said, this is not right.
- 17:17Speaker 2: I'm getting nervous here. And she's like, ha, ha, ha,
- 17:19Speaker 2: nervously and walked out of the room. And my brother
- 17:22Speaker 2: was there. And he's like, what's going on? I showed him.
- 17:24Speaker 2: He's like, what the hell? Did someone do that on purpose?
- 17:26Speaker 2: I said, I don't know.
- 17:27Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 17:27Speaker 2: I'm like, but I'm really scared now.
- 17:30Speaker 1: But what if you really were like incoherent? I don't know.
- 17:34Speaker 1: You know, like they'd look at your bracelet and be like,
- 17:36Speaker 1: her name is Devils.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Yeah. She's 117. I don't know, Shauna. It's very weird.
- 17:42Speaker 2: I probably should push and get more information from people
- 17:45Speaker 2: who work there.
- 17:45Speaker 1: And where's your medical information? Because that's what my cousin said.
- 17:49Speaker 1: He said they put whatever to get you into the computer. Yeah. Well,
- 17:53Speaker 1: they're just putting in whatever. Where's your medical information going?
- 17:57Speaker 2: It somehow transferred because I went into MyChart. And everything
- 18:00Speaker 2: that they did and all my blood tests were in
- 18:03Speaker 2: there from that night. So somehow they got it, you know,
- 18:06Speaker 2: to merge it. But yeah, scary. And then last night
- 18:10Speaker 2: I went to Hannaford. I had to buy milk and,
- 18:13Speaker 2: you know, something for the kids lunch. And my receipt
- 18:16Speaker 2: was 666. So I immediately got chills again. And I
- 18:20Speaker 2: said to the cashier, I said, I don't like that number.
- 18:24Speaker 2: And she looks and she goes, oh, yeah, I know.
- 18:26Speaker 2: I didn't want to say anything. I said, I'm like,
- 18:29Speaker 2: I'm going to. TMI right now I'm like I don't
- 18:31Speaker 2: know what's going on in my life I said but
- 18:33Speaker 2: I keep getting the number 666 on things I was
- 18:35Speaker 2: in the hospital the other day my they put my
- 18:38Speaker 2: first name down as devils and I had 666 on
- 18:40Speaker 2: my bracelet I said and now this and she goes
- 18:44Speaker 2: yeah I would just say to the universe kill me
- 18:46Speaker 2: now please and I looked at her I said absolutely
- 18:48Speaker 2: not why would you say that to me and she's
- 18:52Speaker 2: like and I laughed I'm like who says that kill
- 18:56Speaker 2: me kill me now or just kill me now no
- 18:59Speaker 2: thank you oh my god I said I need to
- 19:03Speaker 2: go get some holy water some sage I don't know what.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Some incense or something.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Something to get this black cloud this evil there's some
- 19:12Speaker 2: evil around me I have no idea what.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Have the priest come over and bless the doorway of
- 19:19Speaker 1: your house yeah I don't know if that works I
- 19:22Speaker 1: hear it works.
- 19:23Speaker 2: I'll try anything at this point I don't know it's
- 19:28Speaker 2: crazy so That was my week, and that's why we
- 19:32Speaker 2: missed doing the show last week, and hopefully things get better.
- 19:36Speaker 2: That's all I can pray for.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Well, I went to the doctors for a once-a-year follow-up
- 19:42Speaker 1: to my ENT, and he stuck the camera up my nose,
- 19:47Speaker 1: and I said, oh yeah I said I had like
- 19:50Speaker 1: some kind of cold or whatever and he was he
- 19:53Speaker 1: stuck it up my nose and he goes you are
- 19:54Speaker 1: severely infected oh my god so he put me on
- 19:59Speaker 1: prednisone an antibiotic and two different nose sprays I feel
- 20:05Speaker 1: better but I'm still congested.
- 20:07Speaker 2: It's crazy that you get them so often, so easily,
- 20:10Speaker 2: the sinus infections and all that.
- 20:12Speaker 1: They said it's because of the deviated septum and whatever
- 20:15Speaker 1: else is wrong with my nose. So I have to
- 20:20Speaker 1: have surgery, but I'm holding off on it. Yeah. Just
- 20:24Speaker 1: because I'm like super scared. It's a long recovery. You know,
- 20:29Speaker 1: and I told him, I was honest with him. I said, listen,
- 20:31Speaker 1: I said, I know so many people that I've had
- 20:34Speaker 1: similar surgeries that, you know, what you're going to do
- 20:37Speaker 1: or have had the surgery that you are going to do.
- 20:40Speaker 1: I said, and it didn't work for them. And my aunt,
- 20:43Speaker 1: she had it done twice. And, and he's like, that's
- 20:47Speaker 1: because it, that's because I didn't do the surgery. He's like, I,
- 20:51Speaker 1: that's all I do is those kinds of surgeries. And
- 20:54Speaker 1: I'm like, but still like it didn't, you know, like,
- 20:57Speaker 1: I don't know. Like it's, it's a risk that we're taking. Um,
- 21:01Speaker 1: so he was like, listen, we're not going to talk
- 21:03Speaker 1: about surgery while you're not feeling good. Um, so he
- 21:06Speaker 1: didn't even want to talk about it.
- 21:07Speaker 2: All right.
- 21:07Speaker 1: So when I go back next month, I'll have to
- 21:09Speaker 1: talk about it. Yeah.
- 21:10Speaker 2: My father-in-law had it, his work. It's a big surgery.
- 21:13Speaker 2: You never know. Every surgery, you know, there's a lot
- 21:15Speaker 2: of surgeries out there that there's a chance it's not
- 21:17Speaker 2: going to work and it sucks because you put yourself
- 21:19Speaker 2: through all that for what, you know?
- 21:21Speaker 1: Yeah. Um. I mean, I can't breathe anyway. Yeah. But
- 21:25Speaker 1: being clogged up, like with stuffing up your nose. I know.
- 21:29Speaker 1: I'm really not going to be able to breathe.
- 21:31Speaker 2: I know. I feel for you. You know, I feel
- 21:35Speaker 2: the same way. I have a surgery that I've been
- 21:37Speaker 2: putting off for 10 years. I don't know how long
- 21:41Speaker 2: just because of the recovery. So I feel you. And
- 21:45Speaker 2: I guess it just comes to a point either are
- 21:47Speaker 2: you willing to live like this for the rest of
- 21:49Speaker 2: your life or suffer for a few months of the recovery?
- 21:54Speaker 2: That's why I think people get to that point, like
- 21:56Speaker 2: my father-in-law. He put it off for so many years
- 21:59Speaker 2: since he was a kid.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:00Speaker 2: And he finally was like, I don't want to live
- 22:01Speaker 2: this way. I can't keep getting infections.
- 22:04Speaker 1: I can't.
- 22:04Speaker 2: I want to breathe and this, this and that. And
- 22:06Speaker 2: he did it. And I was living with him for
- 22:09Speaker 2: the surgery. And I remember it was a little rough,
- 22:12Speaker 2: but he found tips and tricks to kind of make
- 22:15Speaker 2: it a little easier. And I feel for you. It's
- 22:18Speaker 2: a big decision.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Well, I'm not a good patient and I'm going to
- 22:22Speaker 1: be absolutely miserable.
- 22:24Speaker 2: I know.
- 22:24Speaker 1: I know. I know. I've tried everything, though. You know,
- 22:28Speaker 1: I've changed my diet. I've been doing so much better. Like,
- 22:33Speaker 1: I've kind of cut out sugar. Not totally, but I've
- 22:37Speaker 1: done really well. I've been drinking, trying to drink the
- 22:44Speaker 1: healthy kombucha.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Oh, yes, yes.
- 22:46Speaker 1: That we got. So I've been trying to do that.
- 22:48Speaker 1: It's supposed to be really healthy for you.
- 22:51Speaker 2: It is so good for you. There actually is a
- 22:53Speaker 2: new study out with kombucha is that is attracting or
- 22:58Speaker 2: i'm going to use the word grabbing microplastics in our
- 23:02Speaker 2: body you know how we have so because of all
- 23:05Speaker 2: the plastic and everything yeah we're full of microplastics and
- 23:08Speaker 2: kombucha is able to kind of like grab it and
- 23:12Speaker 2: it and when you go to the bathroom it it
- 23:14Speaker 2: pulls the microplastics out of your body so it's so
- 23:18Speaker 2: good for you good for your gut like the probiotics
- 23:21Speaker 2: in it um Yeah. So that's, that's smart that you've
- 23:24Speaker 2: been trying to drink that. Like that, that will definitely
- 23:26Speaker 2: help you. And it tastes, it tastes good. My son
- 23:29Speaker 2: loves it. He absolutely loves it. Like he can drink it.
- 23:33Speaker 2: I have to keep them away from him cause he
- 23:34Speaker 2: drinks them so much.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Are they good for kids that have like so many?
- 23:39Speaker 2: Not so many. I don't think anything is good in
- 23:41Speaker 2: a lot, but, uh, he, if, if I didn't watch him,
- 23:45Speaker 2: he would probably have three a day. So I try
- 23:47Speaker 2: to minimize it to like one, one every other day
- 23:50Speaker 2: for him. Um, But, yeah, he'll sneak it, so I
- 23:54Speaker 2: got to stay on him. But it's good for you,
- 23:57Speaker 2: you know. Definitely, I think adults should have one at
- 24:00Speaker 2: least every day. That would be good.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Yeah, my mom drinks it. It's almost like an acquired taste. Yeah.
- 24:06Speaker 1: That you have to just acquire it. But she loves it.
- 24:10Speaker 1: She's very healthy. She's never sick. She didn't get this
- 24:15Speaker 1: sinus infection cold that I got. Yeah. It's crazy what
- 24:20Speaker 1: natural things can do for you. Exactly.
- 24:23Speaker 2: We have to get back more to that. And that's
- 24:25Speaker 2: why we like the healthy kombucha. Their flavors are good.
- 24:28Speaker 2: You can buy them in most grocery stores. And they're
- 24:33Speaker 2: good for you.
- 24:34Speaker 1: And we have some sad news to report. RJ Mitty,
- 24:37Speaker 1: who was on our show a few months ago, I
- 24:40Speaker 1: actually met him at the Real Abilities Film Festival. He
- 24:45Speaker 1: has sadly passed away. They are reporting it, that it
- 24:49Speaker 1: was suicide. We don't know yet for a fact, but
- 24:54Speaker 1: that is what they are reporting. And you just never
- 24:57Speaker 1: know what someone is going through. You know, I'm trying to, like,
- 25:00Speaker 1: I just kept thinking about it, like, all last night.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Probably why I didn't sleep at all. I was trying to, like,
- 25:06Speaker 1: go back to, like, our interview. And I'm like, you
- 25:09Speaker 1: would have never known.
- 25:10Speaker 2: No.
- 25:11Speaker 1: No.
- 25:11Speaker 2: I mean, yes, he had his health issues. He had
- 25:14Speaker 2: his disability. But he was so successful. Like I, I
- 25:19Speaker 2: knew him years ago through, not knew him, but watched
- 25:22Speaker 2: him on Breaking Bad, you know, and he was great.
- 25:25Speaker 2: And I love seeing him advocating and showing like, hey,
- 25:29Speaker 2: I have a disability and look at me.
- 25:31Speaker 1: I'm in this.
- 25:32Speaker 2: That was a big, big show. Very popular show. It
- 25:36Speaker 2: had so many seasons because it did so well. Yeah.
- 25:38Speaker 2: And to see him in that and then, you know,
- 25:41Speaker 2: we talked to him and how positive he was and
- 25:44Speaker 2: so many new and positive changes were.
- 25:47Speaker 1: In his life.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Like he was engaged and yeah. Like you don't know what,
- 25:51Speaker 2: what's going on in someone. They can hide how they're
- 25:54Speaker 2: feeling or maybe it's something sudden that happened. And then they,
- 25:57Speaker 2: people feel like, you know what? I can't, I can't
- 25:59Speaker 2: go on, but it's heartbreaking. He was so talented and
- 26:02Speaker 2: had so much, so much more to give to this world. Yeah.
- 26:07Speaker 1: And I saw a lot of posts from his friends
- 26:10Speaker 1: and coworkers saying, you know, that, they were going to
- 26:14Speaker 1: meet up with him and do lunch. Like not, yeah,
- 26:18Speaker 1: like they were talking about it and just trying to
- 26:20Speaker 1: figure out schedules. And, you know, the one guy wrote that,
- 26:25Speaker 1: you know, maybe having lunch with him would have changed
- 26:28Speaker 1: his decision. And he regrets not, you know, doing the
- 26:31Speaker 1: lunch sooner. And, you know, life gets in the way.
- 26:34Speaker 1: And I say this all the time, you know, you
- 26:36Speaker 1: just never know what someone's going through and.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Or how short time is.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:42Speaker 2: You think you have time. I'll go, well, we'll reschedule
- 26:44Speaker 2: for next year or next month or.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't have that. And yeah, it just never happens.
- 26:50Speaker 1: And I say that to my mom all the time.
- 26:52Speaker 1: And people are just dying by us left and right.
- 26:56Speaker 1: It's insane. It's like every other week I'm posting like
- 27:01Speaker 1: RIP or, you know, going to a wake, going to
- 27:04Speaker 1: a funeral and a memorial service and... You just never know. Yeah.
- 27:10Speaker 1: It's sad.
- 27:11Speaker 2: And that's why you have to spend as much time
- 27:13Speaker 2: with your loved ones. Check in on your friends and
- 27:16Speaker 2: family and coworkers. If you don't hear from them, it's
- 27:20Speaker 2: really good. We all have to support each other and
- 27:22Speaker 2: be there for each other. And kind of never say, like, oh,
- 27:26Speaker 2: that person's fine. They're good. They're happy. You know, you always...
- 27:29Speaker 2: Like you said, you just never know. So you should
- 27:32Speaker 2: always check in on people. And make time for your
- 27:36Speaker 2: loved ones because... life tomorrow, something could happen. It doesn't
- 27:40Speaker 2: have to be suicide. It can get in a car accident.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Like me could have, that could have went a whole
- 27:44Speaker 2: different way. If you know, if I was going a
- 27:46Speaker 2: little faster or if the kid pulled out a little
- 27:49Speaker 2: slower when I was right in front of him and
- 27:51Speaker 2: he hit my door, like, you know how your mom
- 27:52Speaker 2: was in that accident. You just don't know. It could
- 27:55Speaker 2: happen in a split second and then your life is
- 27:58Speaker 2: gone or someone else's life is gone. And yeah, it's
- 28:01Speaker 2: really sad. And I pray for his family.
- 28:03Speaker 1: I just feel so bad for his family. And for
- 28:07Speaker 1: his fiance, I just can't believe it. I cannot believe it.
- 28:15Speaker 1: And that's our show for this week. Thank you so
