I'm home! I have actually been home
three days and I have found the transition to be very challenging.
Really quite spooked about the whole affair.. It is nice to have
access to a quick and clean computer again try to write with. A
little tablet is just about given out I think I've worn around
altogether. I've started the process of looking for another small
system but consider driving my feet on the whole process not Wanting
to spend any more money than I have to right. There's just so much
that I need to write about the last hundred and some days that
boggles my mind. I wish I had done better job Of blogging aand
perhaps even more importantly have been able to upload images during
my stays at this sniff or the acute rehab facility. What I may do,
because it's so much after-the-fact is just add a number of blog
entries which kind of describe the times I had at the two facilities
and be able to add a couple of images that were taken at those points
in time.
The house is beautiful Dianne in the
family worked very hard in remodeling making me house more livable
for me which really humbles me a great deal. I have a new bed, I
have a new range,, shower chair in my computer room has had a major
do over. It is almost too much for me to get my mind around the whole
shebang – – it's like a major gift. I now have to live up to the
gift. I have to lose weight gain more strength and be able to be more
independent. All those are going to be major challenges for me. I
sometimes don't know if I can do it but I'm going to give it a try.
Tomorrow, I meet with the folks over at Tosh to see what outpatient
therapy is going to be like. Dianne had to do a major amount of
advocating for me but was able to give me an within a week following
my separation from the acute facility at IMC. I just hope I'll be
able to make my commitments to the new rehab facility. I wish I felt
better which I felt strong I wish I had not let them brainwash me
into accepting an older me, more debilitated me then I thought that I
was.
There are a couple of loose ends which
must be tied off from the stay at the IMC facility. Most important of
which to me is the modifications to my power wheelchair. We're
looking at a cushion and a foot pedal configuration that I can live
with . I'm not holding too much faith in this option but I'm willing
to play it through to see what happens. I took a call early this
morning the catheters seem to be on their way that's good. Tomorrow I
am meeting with Tosh. Have not showered since I got home from the
hospital – – so maybe to night We'll give the new shower chair
and try.
