Back in skilled care

[cornerofmadness]

The hospital sent me to the SNF (skilled nursing facility) today. That poor EMS team so confused. All the nurses and aides in Grant's bone/joint floor gave me a standing, waving send off and all the nurses and aides at Westminster gave me a waving greeting when I returned.

On the other hand, riding in the ambulance after dinner and the narcotics which make me sick was ROUGH. So nauseous. I'm laying in bed waiting to puke myself to death (so far so good)

I didn't mention it but the home did me a favor. They left ALL my stuff in my room and didn't charge me for a bed hold. So I'm back in my cosy room, my snacks are here (when I'm done trying to puke) and I'll be here for a few days. The insurance wants me reevaluated by friday. I'm only approved til then.

However I WALKED today. That's right. I walked. The first time didn't go so good. I got up and walked down the hall a little. I'm proud of me.

I got back up and dressed myself. That was one time too many. My leg hurts but fuck it, I WALKED for the first time in 6 weeks.


Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Evil_little _dog. I'm a bit too blech to do that up righ.

Apropos of nothing, Harry & David's Crater Lake crunch trail mix is yummy and I need to learn to make it.

And I am too nauseated to enjoy Prodigal Son's return tonight.

Thank you so much

That's awesome. Fingers crossed for the insurance being reasonable.

[cornerofmadness]

We'll see. Right now the damn pharmacy hasn't delivered my pain pills. I am unhappy

Yay for being back in your room, and double YAY fir actually walking, that's HUGE progress.

Hope you feel better soon *careful hug*

Today is one step forward three steps back. I can barely move but I'm hanging in

[badly_knitted]

Let's hope this is the worst day and every day after will see some improvement.

Good news about the walking! I hope the nausea has abated.

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks. Nausea is hanging in there but it's not too awful right now

Good going, Sweetie!!

I'm late, once again, but I wanted to say YAY! for being back in the SNF. It was really nice of them to hold your stuff and not charge you for the room.

Also, W00T! It's great that you were able to walk, even though you overdid it. You'll know next better time, and it'll keep getting easier. *cheers*

Thank you. I was happy they did that for me.

I think walking was the wrong move
