The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI am really home now from the hospital/nursing home stay starting in mid October to January 31st.
Why? My 110 lbs yellow Labrador is now with me in my little house. 🐶
She misses my son, his family (daughter in law, 2 daughters, and their dachshund) where
she was staying as I was medical prison but she seems to have adapted to being back
with me now. She slept by me when I was on the sofa and when I went to bed she hopped
up sometime when I was sleeping. We just had a nice walk and considering that I couldnt
walk @ Xmas and New Years it was wonderful.
Btw my 6 year old grand daughter has been crying from even before Pepita left their home
to come be with me. I will have to schedule some visits soon. Pepita really loved her new
family. She used to go and sleep under the younger girls crib or sleep with my son and his
wife.

(70,589 posts)I got sick and pooped on the old ones before I went into the hospital. The hospital gurney/bed
for the past 2.5 months in the nursing home was not comfortable at all.

(70,589 posts)I made some shrimp and grits the other night and put it into aluminum foil bread pans
and put them into the freezer. I got one out this AM and after it thaws I will slice off
a few pieces and fry them.
God it is good to be home. Thank Dog in heaven.

(694 posts)There really is no place like home. And hospitals and nursing homes are no Oz. Put on your ruby slippers and take toto for all the walks you feel like.

(70,589 posts)I started to work on getting out of there from the 1st minute I was there.

(694 posts)Now with COVID it's almost guaranteed. "Skilled Nursing facility", my ass. I'm glad you got out alive.

(70,589 posts)I was one of the very few residents who was getting out > 95% werent. People missing
limbs and digits from diabetes, neuromuscular diseases, and vascular problems. My
roommate (on the other side of the curtain) is on his way out @ sometime in 2024 and
he would call for his mother in Chinese @ night. Once I could sign my way out of the building
I would go out for walks as much as I could even with snow on the ground because the fresh
air was a tonic. The nursing home had the little Cuyahoga River behind it and bike/hiking path
along it and I made use of it.
We did have a strain of covid go through the facility in late Dec. / early Jan. and that got us
a 2 week lock down and put my rehab back for sometime.
