I thought I’d catch you up to where I’m at. Last Wednesday i was sent home but didn’t realize how much leg strength i lost while in the hospital. This was a much longer stay than usual and I don’t know the why of that other than I was intubated on some powerful anesthesia. I don’t know the exact reasons for all that except some choice someone thought necessary.
I was having adventures somewhere else which mostly felt like I was backstage of a huge stage set and the physics of things were different. There was even one character that showed up to prank me. But I think it was mostly the drugs. Not reading a lot into it other than I have a really good imagination.
Once I fully woke the tubes were removed and I did a few days of initial physical therapy.In the past i was only on the walker a day or two at most. It seemed i was released rather quickly.
I was able to sit on my home sofa at home but unable to get back up on the walker. My cat was very glad to see me and we both slept on the couch that night.The next day I got a surge of energy and was able to get up on the walker and put my phone on the charger. Then my calves felt like jelly and I fell. I didn’t break anything but laying on the floor for two hours while the phone charges enough to call EMS bruises the ego a bit.
EMS took me back to the hospital where I had a couple of days of more PT. Then I was sent to a physical rehab center not far away. The PT people are very good and my legs are rapidly strengthening and the bruising is going away.
This center wants to send me to a more advanced center but we are waiting for approval from the insurance company that manages this Medicare policy. Don’t know how that will go but I still have some days approved for this place.
And that’s where things are now.
Thank you all who donated the situation was far worse than I thought but I got the bills paid. I thank you all for your kindness!
I love you all! Terran.
