i'm finally home. the hospital was a bad experience. when you're in terrible
pain and flat on your back helpless the last thing you want your CNA to say first thing in the morning is "i have 12 pts all by myself today so i'll do the best i can". yikes. they told me to pee in the bed and they'd change it because they couldn't get into the room fast enuf to get me up.

thankfully i then went to the rehab facility. the staff was very responsive and very quick to address pain issues. they were top notch with rehab and i thankfully did well, better than my dr expected. all in all i was there about 3 wks.

now i'm home. in a fair amt of pain and trying to medicate myself accordinly.
catherine had her nose surgery and is out for the count. her sister patty is with her 24/7. i have some pretty great neighbors who have made themselves available to help me. they are the best. i've even gotten to see my little pal Linus the daschund. made my day!

can't sit here long but wanted to check in.
