[tom67]

Hi Terri, I think I hear a boxing ring bell, somewhere in the background!
DING!!, DING!!, DING!!!, Seriously, I hope you have a much better day today,
And Just think! I more DAY!!! Take care girl!!

 

[abunnybabe]

I just keep repeating to myself, one more day, one more day. LOL
My OT told me today that they mentioned me at the morning meeting! I'm FAMOUS here!!!!!!!! He said that I would be working with a different therapist for my last 3 sessions, since I didn't want to work with Toni anymore. Guess what? No one was surprised! Apparently she is known to have a big chip on her shoulder and a bad attitude to go with it. She is not a favorite among the staff. No surprise to me.
Anyway.....HOW about those YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woooooo hooooooo!

 

[Dawnie]

Oh Terri, I have missed you so much, I wasnt around yesterday, as you know, but reading through your posts today have really cheered me up, you are so funny. I am sorry, that sounds cruel, when you are having a rough time, but you have a fantastic attitude. And you cheer me up immensely.
I hope you get home soon to your wonderful, caring hubby and that your recovery is short and sweet. XXXX

 

[Judles]

Terri-
I haven't been on this thread for awhile either......I was laughing so hard I had tears running down my face. All my co-workers wanted to know what I was laughing about. And don't get me wrong--it's terrible all the things you have had to endure. But that whole thing with the psychiatrist is just too funny. And the PT. She deserved all that. I'm so sorry you have had trouble with the pain issue, as alot of us have had. And it seems like they don't even care about it at all!!! And they are surprised when we cry????
It's frustrating beyond words.
It's so good to hear from you.....can't wait til you get home.
I had a home PT for I think 3 weeks and she was WONDERFUL! If one comes to your home, I hope they are kind. I still go back to the basics that she taught me when I get frustrated (heel to toe is a big one for me.)
Do not underestimate the importance of extension........Especially at first.
You'll be so glad to be home!! Keep giving them h*ll!!!! Was your hubby around for any of that??

 

[abunnybabe]

I am so glad that I can still make you guys laugh. When I get home TOMORROW I will also look back on this and laugh. But at least I'll be doing it from the comfort of my living room with my husband and my dog Clyde there to keep me company. You know, this stay here could have been worse......I could have had a room mate! Someday I'll tell you about my hospital room mate.
I have to go get in my afternoon nap, well deserved after one OT and 2 PT sessions. I walked up a whole flight of stairs, then walked around the whole facility and back down again, using a cane!!!!! I did this twice today! Then I had what the PT euphemistically called a massage....you know where they press as hard as they possibly can on your poor surgical leg, then pull it and finally they try to bend it more than it ever bent before! Oh yeah, and the second session was at 1PM, pain meds at 2PM!!!!!!!!!!!! Great timing, huh?
Talk to you later!

Terri it is so good to read your posts again. Sorry about the hard time. I've experinced it too . AFter i had a seizure in Jan and was calling for the nurses, one came in after a long time. She said i did not have a seizure, just would not believe me.
So then i had one right in front of her. AS i heard her yelling for help,i thought now you know how i felt!!!

I don't know what is up with these people. Hey you are probably home by now. So happy for you.

Terri,

I can't believe you did all those stairs and all that walking!!!! You must be doing really well!

Judy....Like so many of us have been saying, what in the world is wrong with these health "professionals?"

It makes me want to scream!!!!! :shk:

 

[Judles]

I get it Terri! They're off schedule in "the home" because they forgot to set their clocks BACK!!!! Last night, Kiddo! You can DO IT!!, (0),

 

[Josephine]

[Judles]

Can't wait to hear from you once you're home and settled! Take care, Terri!! :evil::thmb:

 

[abunnybabe]

Well, I've been home for about 3 hours! Had a light snack and my first nap on the couch. It is so weird that I can't make it past 1:30PM without a nap. It is FABULOUS to be home, there's no place like home! Now I am in charge, no nurses aides watching me shower, no sneeky psychiatrists, no waiting for someone to give me my pain meds. AND my laptop is on my lap where it belongs! With wireless internet, man did I miss that.

 

[Judles]

Welcome home!!! And back to your sanity!!! Now rest,elevate and ice!!!! Boy are they going to miss you in the "home", Terri!!!!! :shk::hehe:

 

[Jamie]

Welcome home, Terri!!! I know just being there is as good as any medicine available. We're glad to have you back with us too. We'll take MUCH better care of you than those folks you encountered during your institutional adventures.

 

[Linda2]

Wow, I miss a lot when I don't make it on here for a few days. I'm sorry to hear you had to go through all that, Terri. I don't know what it is with some health care professionals and pain meds. For heaven's sake, your bones were sawed and drilled! So glad you're home and in control of your own life again.

 

[abunnybabe]

Yup, it makes me sad to be in the same profession as some of the nurses I met in the rehab center. The Hospital nurses were absolutely wonderful, I must say that.

 

[JudyS]

Welcome home Terri, hope you had a great nap.
