Feb. 16 I was admitted to the hospital for drug overdose. I regained conciousness as a nurse was sticking me with an IV. I yanked out the catheter and tried to get off the gurney. I blacked out. When I regained conciousness I was in bed with a nurse sitting aside the bed. Then I was put in a wheelchair, the nurse told me to stand, she told me to take off my clothes, she asked nurse Larry to look at my injuries, he walked around me. I had a hole in my left leg the size of a golf ball, a swollen right knee the size of a grapefruit, I was unable to walk. I had severe burns on my back, hips, face, and part of my ear was burned off, from what I assume was a tazer/stun gun. I have no memory of how these injuries occured. I was refused pain medication. I weighed 220 pounds when admitted and 175 when discharged 2 weeks later. I then went to Florida and had to be admitted to the W. Palm VA hospital for 2 more weeks for leg infection. I will forever bear the scars.
