To chat about my surgery

A bit of cabin fever coupled with frustration kicked in today. I WA working on standing and walking. She said I was doing great. I asked what the protocol was for going home. She said I needed to safely get around my apartment. OK Fair enough.
So, do we go out there or what? Nope. We just decide it. So I asked how there will know if my home is safe for me if they do not go there?. Don't know answer to that..

So you can just make stuff up about your house, right?

"All pathways are [this] wide, and my sink is [this] high, cabinets are [within range], the toilet's [like so] - oh yeah, this is going to work out great!!"

☺️

Worth a thought. Lol. Thing, my place is very disabled friendly considering it is not officially accessable. High seat and grab bars around throne. Grab bars in shower. Shower chair. Clear walkways. Easy lift chair. I keep my walker near by at all times. Life alert button and phone always in reach

Do you have a rubber bath mat in the shower so you will not slip getting out? I have an extra large and long so I don't ever have to put my feet on the tile. You also need a safe bath matt to step out and dry on. Avoid walking with wet feet on the bathroom floor. I am lucky my toilet is right outside the shower. I can step out on the rug, turn and sit on the toilet to dry. You might need a chair in the room to sit on if you have a large room. You don't want to take any chances that might cause a fall.

I wish they would do a home visit if you were to be OK with it. Some rehab places do. Are you doing alright or are you getting the feeling they want to keep you for the rehab?

Yet on the other side of this, you don't want to go home until you are absolutely ready and comfortable to do so.

At first I was stubborn and thought I didn't need rehab. Now I am glad I came. Sadly the covid I caught is keeping me here longer than anticipated. Had to suspend some therapy.

I've been gone for awhile on a camping trip Marie, so sorry to hear you got Covid, I hope the side effects weren't too severe. Just what you needed. :( Glad you're using a walker and coming along on your threapy.....hugs.

Doing better. My niece brought my good walker from home. The one I use every day. I was stuck in my room for 10 days, just got out last week. Can do more walking and therapy now.
I did tell the therapists they did well with me, considering the limited space of my room. One said they had to do it often with residents here during Covid

@Marie5656 I know you must be going stir-crazy and can't wait to get back to your friends. Good to hear you are better, and I'm sure it will be no time before you are home. I hope you have been enjoying your True Crime channels!

No True Crime here, but finding a lot online to keep me busy. Here I watch hours of Bar Rescue on Paramount
