@phoenxrisin2 My thoughts exactly. I’ve lost everyone & everything bc of my illnesses due to those arnd me refusing to accept them & wanting to put other motives on why a once extremely active, vibrant person no longer was—bc that’s what active, vibrant ppl strive for, being ill & losing all.

My other baby @Carolina_Jaguar. (Christian is posting this) I love you mom! You’ve got this!

I almost died multiple times, I’m at Baptist Downtown Jacksonville in Towers in room 407 at the ICU, it’s really not looking good for me. 😞

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

The nurses here are horrible too! Just putting on a face when my sons are here and as soon as they leave it’s just back to the crewl ways.

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

screaming for just someone to help!

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

Baptist downtown has been absolutely horrible, screaming for days and days before I get someone to do anything about the pain. This is insanity here, constant yelling and screaming at me writing me off as a delusional patient while consistently not listening to what

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

I’m going through. Absolute insanity. I’m so sick and tired of everyone writing me off for my pain and it’s so much easier to say I’m delusional and ignore me, than help. I’m in the ICU now with total kidney failure and still almost nothing here! I’m tired of screaming and scream

Carl Sagan called it in 1995 …

@piyushmittal 👍🏻 One of my very favorite books, and my first book into the foray of being open regarding learning more about religion and its more objective aspects. Where’s #CarlSagan when ya need him!?

@Discover That’s why in 2025, you do it what everyone else does and have virtual cards! You have no idea how much you’ve FCKD me over. That card is getting closed and I will never go anywhere near @Discover again!!

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

😤Blast=another POS co.! @Discover SUCKS! As all know—& can see w/ scroll—I’ve been in HOSPITAL for 2WKS! I desp. need to use my [at home] #Discover, but w/o CVV, nope! 2025 & no VC! YOU’VE MASSIVELY FCKD ME OVER🤬! But they can send a 3rd card HOME! @Discover, you’re CANCELLED!

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

Even being seen by kitchen staff, the v. nxt meal was cold/old/inedible (& -items). The biscuit=rock hard & ice cold. Touch it=crumbles into 1m pieces. A weird 1st-of-kind bowl of eggs on top of gross 🤮 taters were hard, cold & OLD! At this pt, it’s purposeful! @BaptistHealthJx

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

Be thankful for the small pleasures, huh? What a peaceful 4AM view of western [facing] DT & I-95N, which—right arnd the corner—takes us to either CA…LI…FOR…NI…AAY…or North to the MAINE/Canada border. Just gorgeous! ❤️@BaptistHealthJx #JacksonvilleFlorida ⁦@Jaguars⁩ 🏈

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

Sm. pleasures: My rm 3 floors down had a more unobstructed, pristine river view—this is more convoluted. Bridge on left=I-95N in Jax, FL—where it goes E-W for a tiny bit—before, in distance, it turns N…all the way to MAINE! & at that turn=start of I-10W…all the way to CALI!

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

So, lazy, unconcerned in their entirety @BaptistHealthJx finally had someone clean up the food at 130min, & when the girl asked if I was done, I told her it was was cold, OLD & inedible. She said, “that’s OK, lunch will be served soon.” What’s 20 HRs in hosp. w/o food, right!?!?

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

This is the GARBAGE ur feed ⁦@BaptistHealthJx⁩. They don’t feed u for 15/16 hr, then it’s COLD, OLD & INEDIBLE! GROSSLY!!! No caffeine, but sugar/creamer. Drink coke, anyway. Contacted dietary but was hung up on 20m ago. So no food/caffeine. In total= 20HRS w/o sustenance!

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

Not only is the food still here TWO HRS later, uncleaned up by the v. UNFRIENDLY RUDE food srvc prsn who hung up on me w/o me making a complaint, & never contacted me back, Wellllll, it’s still sitting here TWO HRS later. @BaptistHealthJx lives to poorly treat pts, esp. medically

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

Been another 100+MIN since this began & left unaddressed! Another 100min w/ NO FOOD! In a HOSPITAL! By lunch—if edible—it’ll be 20 HRS W/ NO FOOD/sustenance! & nobody cares—not even pt srvs! Stand up for urself , ppl—you deserve quality, & go up as high as u can! @BaptistHealthJx

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

This morn, a line came out & it took an hr+ for many ppl just to clean up the blood. So, now l’m waiting on a pick line team to stick what the nurse pointed to as a v. long needle that goes in an artery. Haven’t read on it yet, tho. Yikes! Dropping steroids= disaster, so far. 2/2

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

I never had anything get this black on me before but due to the vascular issues from #hEDS & #Dysautonomia, my vascular system is so bad, they have to find new IV lines many X day w/ many nurses, taking even over an hr long each X.

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

At least the male RN—whom I’d to chastise for being condescending, earlier—did come in asking why my BP was remaining sustainably high (in 120s). But that’s not really high for me. Tho, my resting is usually in the 40s 99% of my life. 5/5 #anxiety #gaslight #CPP #Opiates #PANIC

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

I cld spend forever on the insanity & v. REAL life-threatening dangers to my life & the suffering this causes. & it really IS life-threatening, but it’ll take forever, so lemme just say how much I wasn’t even remotely exaggerating re: @BaptistHealthJx #gaslighting. Come to…1/

[Helena Handbasket—Formerly: I’m NOT with Stupid @Cattt624]

& it’s almost always purely physiological, at 1st, even entirely. & it IS life-threatening in so many objective ways. “But let’s give her what we’d give a child upset over a stubbed toe, rather than address a prob. that cld kill her by being ignored.” Then it’s gaslight 101! 4/4
