Almost 3 months in the hospital and 2 rehab facilities later and I can finally transfer safely?, from bed to scooter to toilet to wherever??? I will have to make a few adjustments to make it more safe, but am HOME!!!

To make a verrrry loooong story short. My A/C went out as I was napping, on May 31st, and I woke up to scorching heat!! Thought I could handle going to pot and back before calling for help....WRONG!!!!! Fell in bathrm and could not get up, forgot cell and so crawled on floor, inching along, for 24 hrs on floor till DD found me Sun. afternoon and rushed me to hospital intensive care.

That was the beginning of my long, painfully horrible and lonely journey to my near wellness of today. I now have a hospital bed in my livingrm, instead of a couch, so not quite as free as I was, but happy to be here. DD Julie and DSS John were and continue to be my saviors and guardian angels.

I'm lounging in my little, adjustable bed...not deluxe but the best for which Medicare will pay less my 240.00 co-pay. It's not ideal but, at my age, it's okie dokie.

More later, if you really want to hear it.

Thank you all for missing me, your calls, your care, your prayers and your love.

Agate/Joan was lucky enough to reach my DD Julie and I hope she has told you all, the limited info that we had, at the time. I was unable to communicate with anyone, completely coherently for awhile. I didn't have my cell or computer, with me, at all and Julie's time was limited.

I thought about you all every day and missed you terribly.

Sally!!!!! <3

Welcome back, Sally!!!

You were missed! You can tell us the rest of your story as you feel up to it. I'm just glad you're ok and back here with us.

Thank goodness for your daughter and stepson.

Sally, your saga made me sad it could happen to any of us.
I am so glad you are home and doing well AND that there is equipment to help you.
You were so missed even by an almost stranger

Bless you
Linda

Welcome back!!!!!!!!

Wasn't the same with out ya!!!

There's no place like home.

I'm so sorry for your ordeal. Scary!

Welcome home! We missed you.

Your HOME!!!!

I am so glad you are doing better and posting, you were greatly missed

I can't speak for everyone, but I'm sure glad you are back home and safe. What a terrible, scary thing to go through, and I'm so glad it ended well.

Because I've also had bad falls, some more damaging or scary than others, I can appreciate the fear and helplessness you must have experienced. Thank goodness for your family, your doctors and the folks who helped you in rehab.

If you feel up to it, I'm sure besides myself, others would be interested in hearing more about your long journey to get back home, when you are up to it.

Welcome home!

Sally, I am so very happy to see your posts once again!!

Some say that the virtual world is far removed from "real" relationships...but our feelings for you here proven otherwise.

Wish I could have come to your side to visit, help, or whatever. Know that we all have been praying and sending healing thoughts your way.

It seems as if you are making lots of lemonade from the huge pile of lemons the past few months have left at your side. You're a girl who knows how to dust yourself off and make the best of any situation.

So glad your DD & DSS have been there for you. We all love you and are so grateful for your presence in our lives!!

Now take care of yourself...
