Good Morning, Kaila! Maybe when you go home you would qualify for a home health or personal aide to assist you and your husband? I am thinking of getting one again after the holidays are done with. Talk to someone at your rehab or your doctor they might be able to start the ball rolling so when you go home you are set up to have one. Have a good day today!

Great idea, Kat!

Hi Kaila... Thank you for all your updates! It seems you are coming along with your PT and I'm glad. It's your ticket home.

I'm so sad and quite angry about that email from your support person (?). Please don't let it get you down.

So, what did they give you to eat yesterday? Hope it wasn't too bad.

Here's your Word for today:
indomitable
Incapable of being overcome, subdued, or vanquished; unconquerable.

Kaila, just keep pushing forward with your beautiful spirit, ignore the negative and know you are loved. Many hugs and good wishes.
We're all pulling for you to get better.

 

[Medusa]

I will try to keep gaining in my recovery, tomorrow, and hope to go home, soon.

That's the answer. @Kaila. You're doing so well, even in the face of negativity, you're doing all you can and it's going to work. Breathe in. Breathe out. You've got this.

Doing some catching up here. Seeing some progress in your PT and the need for a few extra hugs (definitely sent). I’m so glad you have a computer of some sort and are able to communicate with us.

 

[Kaila]

Good morning kaila.. just a little note after you've had such disapointment from another Human being...keep getting better and spite those who don't wish you well...

Thank you, Holly, for the message.
It helps.

 

[Kaila]

I'm sorry to hear that Kaila, too bad they were so negative. But, it's good you can finally put your waiting and anticipation to rest, please don't let it bring you down too much, hugs my friend. Hoping you have a better day ahead and can continue to work toward going back home.

Thank you for that, dear friend.

Kaila
It's hard for me to speak, or write. I don't know why I'm losing communication ability. Everyday, I read this thread. I read about your struggles and wish you well. I'm sorry I can't say more, except I hope you smile today

PS
Maybe I don't deserve to read your thread. I don't think I am gentle

Thank you for reading my posts. I value that, Pepper.
And for your hopes for me.

Thank you, katlupe.
I think I can get some home visits from nurse and p.t. and o.t., but not actual help after that, with household things we surely could use!
That would be %100 out of pocket.

But thank you for all of the ideas and encouragement!

Thank you for every bit of that understanding and support, RR.

I've had trouble with the foods
They don't seem to know much about special diets at all!

I love that word, indomitable.
Great definition too!

Could you ask for a social work consult? Sometimes they can get you help if you both cannot do certain things...not sure what Medicare or any other agency can do in your area.

Such a great message. Thank you, Jackie!

Tremendous message. Thank you!!
So affirmative.

Perhaps you've already researched whether you could get a few hours per week, of free home-health care @Kaila. I know that things are different there, than here in Canada .. however, I hope there may be some care that doesn't cost too much.

Yes, I've been making progress with p.t. and yes, extra hugs needed! Thank you!

I have a phone I barely know how to use but it's been my major lifeline!

I have no idea how, or if, I could have gotten thru this without all of you here!

 

[Kaila]

Yes I will check into it further. Thank you.

I don't think I can get that, but I will try.
Thank you, Pinky!

 

[Kaila]

I am definitely going to be re- reading every one of your posts, written by every single one of you for me, today!

Tonight i will , and probably every day for at least a week!

Each one of the posts mean a lot to me!

The posts and the hugs and
Have been sustaining me, thru the weeks at hospital and rehab and holidays and extra stressors!

 

[MarkinPhx]

I'm not very good with words but I want to thank you for the updates. I hope that if I ever find myself in a similar situation that I will be as upbeat as you are. I know that these comments are helping you with your recovery but please know that your updates are helping many of us too in our own personal ways.

Oh gosh, you don't think you are very good with words..... and yet, you wrote that post here, both for me and for the other readers, to enjoy and to benefit from.

I found it reassuring, as well. Thank you very much, for your effort in writing it.

An update:

There are still a few additional difficult challenges for me to get thru, here at the rehab, tonight.

There's a difficult nurse for the overnight...

And a new roommate in this extremely small room....

And the confounding array of reasons that they awaken sick people with sleep problems, every time we dare to fall asleep, out of the utter exhaustion of it all.

To be continued....

Good night Kaila, sweet dreams.

Oh my, I will be happy when you tell us you're on your way home. I can't imagine going through what you are there. Keep up the good fight, and know we love you and care.

 

[Kaila]

.... and the meds that come either 2 hours too early (not last night or tonight)

OR,
Up to 2 full hours too late, (last night)
And perhaps tonight.
