Another journal from Karla

We received the following journal, kept by Karla, in the mail. We have been told by the BOP that she is not having spasms or seizures. Please note the number of times she talks about having spasms below. We were told by Karla, that the guards do not like taking her to radiation treatment, because they are afraid of her spasms. In the journal she speaks of waiting to see the neurologist. She is still waiting to this date to see the neurologist.

1-5-09 3rd treatment

1-7-09 5th treatment. I saw Dr. Lynasa today. He is submitting some medicine for my spasm or neck, not sure what. I was in so much pain I couldn’t concentrate.
I asked the nurse about not getting my Decatron at 5:00 a.m. She said she gave it to me. Well, by11:00 a.m. my spasm was so bad that my whole body spasmed, not just my left side, but both sides. I told Nurse Downey. Dr. Lorenzy tries to ignore me unless they have to talk to me. I feel like they only do when they have to.

1-14-09 Went to treatment today (Wednesday). I saw Dr. Lynasa. He said I needed the Neurologist for my spasms and medication. I told Dr. Lorenzy and she said she talked to Dr. Lynasa, also, today and I should get medication and the doctor of Neurology, YEA! My MRSA(antibiotic resistant staph) that I got last week ended(put) me in isolation. Its so cold in here. The air is always blowing real cold air. They changed my pain med today with out telling me again. I’m in pain now and I found out about it now, NOT RIGHT! The Doctor changed it again with out telling me again.
Later: Its been 1 ½ hours since I asked for medication and they didn’t tell me until I have my last time. She should have told me.
1-17-09 Last week I was taken down to 2 Oxci every 12 hours, pain or not. Same with Dexamiathine. NOT telling me why, just did it. Percocet e very 6 hours. My pain is still intense.

I called again at 4:15. Real bad head ache now and really dizzy. I waited until 5:00 p.m. and buzzed again. They turn my buzzer off. By this time my regular meds come at 6:00 p.m. Now I want my percocet.
1-23-09 18th treatment. I might see the neurologist and oncologist next week. I just told Julie that my Nurse is insensitive about me and my medication. Well, 4:00p.m. was my time to get it. Now, it is almost 6:00 p.m. I have real pain now. I can’t hardly see at times.
1-24-09 I had a spasm just now. It was so bad that my whole body hurts.
9:26 p.m. : I just asked for IB profen. I took my percocet at 4:30 a.m. this morning. The pain that the spasm gave me was so bad that my face went side ways and my side of my heart and left arm hurt and burn. My face stuck like that for a few minutes. It scared me. I did that only once and didn’t last that long. I told Nurse Corbett and she said “Yes, Fuller. There’s nothing I can do.” I said “I just want to tell you so someone knows what’s going on about my condition.”
1-25-09 I was buzzed at 6:00a.m. and asked if I want my melamine for dizziness. I said no because I don’t need it until 8:00-8:30 a.m. So Ms. Price waits for me. Well, Ms. Corbett comes in at 7:00 a.m. I ask at 8:00a.m. if I could get my mescaline. She said let me check if you got it at 6:00a.m. I said No I didn’t . So I wait. She doesn’t call me back. 9:20 I call back again. She said “Miss Fuller, she gave it to you at 6:00 a.m.” I said she didn’t. It doesn’t matter.
1-28-09 No treatment today. I have spasms and dizziness real bad today. When the spasm is done my left side of my tongue was numb, my arm all the way to my leg, my ribs and left side. The spasm hurt real bad. My head and neck burns, left side.
1-29-09 Spasm all morning, long and hard. Instead of breathing in and out once (to deal with the pain) now I have to breath in 3 times and out 3 times. I have the shakes so much that I can’t write.
1-30-09 22nd treatment. I had some spasms and dizzy. But not bad. Maybe 8 spasms and some dizziness. Good day and this weekend coming up I am going outside.

2-6-09 Mecklazine(motion sickness meds. Compares to antihistamine) are take as needed and the nurses are so mean. They tell me that when its offered at 5:00a.m. with the rest of my meds, I need to take it. They get really busy in the morning and I may not get it.
