Have burning diaper rash

[outlander]

What a nightmare, so sorry you had to endure this

I like to use Fruit of the Earth aloe vera gel. Works great for severe irritated and inflamed skin. Has great healing properties along with disinfectant abilities. Very soothing for discomfort.

It’s Friday morning. Pepper was supposed to be released Wednesday. Has anyone heard from her?

 

[outlander]

She might be a bit overwhelmed with returning home and trying to start a routine again?

 

[MarciKS]

I hope she's ok but as I said before she may be worn out trying to take care of herself at the house with the kitties and she may just be resting.

PEPPER’!!’
Where are you?
I hope you are comfortable at home looking after your kitties. I’m really worried about you.

 

[WheatenLover]

Grasping at straws, but maybe she is at a relative's house and she lost her phone charger.

 

[hearlady]

Where are you @Pepper ? 🌶

 

[CallMeKate]

Don't make me come up there, girl!

 

[hearlady]

Don't make me come up there, girl!

She'd love it!

 

[Kaila]

We're all hoping to hear very soon, now, from
@Pepper

 

[hearlady]

Now I'm getting worried.

 

[Kika]

Now I'm getting worried.

me too.

 

[Kaila]

Me too.

Thinking of Pepper and with hopeful thoughts~

Now I'm getting worried.

Maybe staff decided to get her rash cleared up and actually do some rehab before they let her go.

They can't discharge her until she can walk down the hall and back, unless she has a full-time caregiver. That was mandatory when I worked at a senior rehab, back in 2003.

Sorry to read this, Pepper.

Do you have anyone locally who can advocate for you? Perhaps a friend/neighbor, or family member? Anyone?

Here, you can be discharged if you can do those hall walks  with a walker or rollator.
What gets dicey here, is if a relative claims you are better off or should stay there.

I'm Not saying that's happening with Pepper.
Just sharing that it is a frequent situation in releases, here.

Yes, that was the criteria back then, too. And they had to be able to sit themselves on a toilet and get in and out of a bath or shower with the help of an aid device, if not independently. Almost all our patients went home with a walker and a shower bench.

I think if her son advocated for her staying there, she probably needs too. However, if so, she's probably hot as a habenero right now or sad as Pepper incarcerated.

 

[Happyflowerlady]

Adding my prayers that @Pepper is doing okay, whether they had to keep her in the hospital or if she is at her son’s place for the holiday like she was hoping to be doing.
