Quote:SOPHIE:I gave you quite a few links and others gave you suggestions to speed things up (like asking your rabbi to help).I know for a fact that in emergency situations there are emergency funds available. Yes, you have to "jump through hoops" but the funds are there.

Quote:HADASSAH:Prayers for your whole family and a misheberach for your wife Yaffa bat Sarah. (you did not make a typo in your earlier post, when making a misheberach the mother's name is used.)I hope your rabbi and congregation are helping you and your family. Perhaps they are making arrangements with people closer to you geographically.
Quote:HADASSAH:Don't neglect your own health at this time, you need all your strength to take care of your wife.
Quote:HADASSAH:Let those around you help you (it's a mitzvah) they truly care about you. Let them help you and everything will work out ok.

Quote:CK:Weirdly, now that I think of it, right after (like within a few hours) I got home from the second surgery I got deathly ill from a virus that had been going around the hospital--and quite a few people died from it. Another of those 'hospital' viruses.Evil stuff. Let's hope that we start going back to proper hygiene in places like hospitals and this never has to happen to anyone again.
Quote:CK:I don't know if you remember All-Advantage. That was the original 'paid-to-surf' that went bankrupt in 2000 because of people cheating. It is coming back as AGLOCO, and in beta testing now, with a better design.
Quote:CK:Praying Jennie improves and a bit of money comes in meanwhile.

Quote: "...these lights we kindle upon the miracles, the wonders, the salvations, and the battles which your performed for our forefathers, in those days, at this season, through your holy priest. During all eight days of Hanukah, these lights are sacred and we are not permitted to make ordinary use of them but to look at them in order to express our thanks and praise to Your great Name for Your miracles, Your wonders, Your salvation."

Quote:REUVEN (Previously Posted Dec. 04, 1006)One of the most common illnesses found in and around hospitals and nursing facilities at one time is something called MRSA. Over the last decade or so, MRSA has been seen in the public setting and no longer confined to hospitals.... What is MRSA? The organism Staphylococcus aureus is found on many individuals skin and seems to cause no major problems. However if it gets inside the body, for instance under the skin or into the lungs, it can cause important infections such as boils or pneumonia. Individuals who carry this organism are usually totally healthy, have no problems whatever and are considered simply to be carriers of the organism. The term MRSA or methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is used to describe those examples of this organism that are resistant to commonly used antibiotics. Methicillin was an antibiotic used many years ago to treat patients with Staphylococcus aureus infections. It is now no longer used except as a means of identifying this particular type of antibiotic resistance. Individuals can become carriers of MRSA in the same way that they can become a carrier of ordinary Staphylococcus aureus which is by physical contact with the organism. If the organism is on the skin then it can be passed around by physical contact. If the organism is in the nose or is associated with the lungs rather than the skin then it may be passed around by droplet spread from the mouth and nose. We can find out if and where Staphylococcus aureus is located on a patient by taking various samples, sending them to the laboratory and growing the organism. Tests done on any Staphylococcus aureus grown from such specimens can then decide how sensitive the organisms is to antibiotics and if it is a methicillin resistant (MRSA) organism. These test usually take 2-3 days.
Quote:REUVEN (Previously Posted):She will be out of work for at least 6-8 weeks. During the first 10 days ( I had first misunderstood this to be 6 weeks) of her release, she must be at the hospital for Intravenous Infusion of Vancomyacin. She is there at 9am and 9PM...This is just the beginning.... As a result of this illness, she is out of work for 6-8 weeks...We do wound care, meaning, cleaning and so forth, of the open/surgery sites, packing them and so on. This is a responsibility given to us but neither my wife nor I feel 100% about it in the sense that, we've never had to do anything like this before and we're not 100% sure we're doing it absolutely correct. If we do not, this will never stop happening....
