I'm concerned about Pepper.

Pepper, it sounds like things actually turned out for the best with your bypass surgery getting moved up by three weeks and that is wonderful news. I’m hoping things go much better for you.

Even though that rehab/nursing facility was close to your son‘s house, it does not sound like a decent facility. They weren’t honest with you with constantly changing the dates. I hope you end up recovering in a much better place and finally get to return home. Sending hugs 🤗.

You know that's true. The surgery got moved up.
 
@Pepper
You have been through so much; it is not surprising that you may lose it now and then. Is it possible to hire an aide who will stay with you in whatever facility, either hospital or nursing care? Perhaps just during the daytime? Someone who can immediately do things you need done? Someone to be there for you when things get tough, a calming influence? We would call that a "One On One".

We care and are concerned for your well-being.
 
with all due respect folks I do think me may all be playing "guessing games"? - I have not read one response from any other directly associated care provider be they doctor/nurse/physio etc etc - it is a rather one side story undoubtely with genuine sympathy but we are not seeing a balanced picture to what appears to be a complex care/legal scenario??

What guessing games are we playing and which "doctor/nurse/physio" are you expecting to see post here? We are concerned about the well being of a fellow member. We do not resolve "care/legal" issues.

As you said, "with all due respect folks", I'm going to say the same to you about the part of your statement I quoted. Who the devil cares if we don't hear from a doctor or lawyer?! Good gracious! We love Pepper and try our best to offer her support here.
 
@Pepper, words cannot describe how relieved I was to see your post! I was seriously concerned before that.

You have been through so much. I wish I were there to help out—even if I couldn't provide formal support, just to sit with you and be there as your friend.

I will be praying that your surgery goes well. Sending you love and hugs.

Obviously, you’ve never had family members or friends in a subpar rehab/nursing home facility. I have lived that experience and I can tell you that sometimes there are ulterior motives for keeping people even by the doctors of such facilities. My friend was much better off once I got him out of there. A similar situation happened with my mother.

My mother-in-law went into recover after having a major surgery and she kept telling them she didn’t feel well and by the time they finally took her blood and sent it out to be tested they found out she had a raging infection. She was only 67 and they were going to transfer her to the hospital immediately except she was dead. She never should have died.

If they would’ve listened to her right away when she said she didn’t feel well, but both us and her had to keep telling them repeatedly. After that experience, it made me much more proactive when advocating for family or friends in such facilities.
