@
dickinson , Yes, I am pleased with the menu! It isn't totally gourmet in its preparation, but so very much tastier than the stuff three months ago (when I was limited to salads, basically). The nurses told me that the food was their biggest complaint, so they changed up their kitchen. Meals are prepared individually, and we can order whenever we want, up to six meals a day. There are also snacks that are stored locally in each ward, and we're welcome to those as well. I had pudding instead of dinner at midnight! Boy oh boy, I think these drugs are taking me for a ride!I have to say, @
shrinkette , that I stayed away from the quiche, figuring nothing good could come of it! Isn't that what we say here? That we should learn from others' experiences? I learned from yours!
I think I am very lucky to have landed here. I feel as though they're well-equipped for many contingencies, but I am lucky to not need any of their solutions for complex situations. I just hear snippets of conversations from people who are speaking with their PT as they go on by. it feels good to have a solid base on which to heal. I wish that for everyone.
Finally, i hope I am not bugging people with that gross-looking photo! I have struggled and struggled with making the decisions to have these hips repaired. I can look at anybody else and tell them to go for whatever would make them feel whole again, but I couldn't come to any conclusion to do the same for myself. I didn't feel I merited that level of care, or that I was bad-enough off to have them done (even after both docs I saw said they were bad joints). It's hard, complex, and utterly irrational on my part, BUT, that photo is proof positive that even I can't deny. I needed these new hips! So, I hope nobody is offended. I can delete the post if necessary.
Have great days, all...What a wonderful group of diverse people!
Take care
