Bill, I read your words and I can feel that you're so happy. Let me tell you something, we are all happy too. Give your wife a big hug from me
If you need any help doing the laundry I'll ask my wife for some tips for you.
Are you eating ok?

Glad to hear that. My wife was in the hospital a few years ago for about a week. It's unbelievable how much pizza a man can eat in a week unsupervised.Yes I'm still eating.![]()

I'm afraid I don't have the cash for that! Lol But I know what you mean! Even though I know how to cook, I find myself eating mostly what is easiest and makes the least mess I'll need to clean up! Lol![]()
That would be PIZZA! One pizza is good for three meals, is a single box, and no plates required.
Make sure you're getting sleep too. Under stress I usually sacrifice food first and sleep second, both of which will catch up to you.
Bill, I'm glad to hear she is improving. I don't know how things work where you are, but around here the rehab facilities are separate from the hospitals. There are several around this area...some are better than others. Be sure to know ahead of time how things will transpire.
There are usually at least two different levels of care. One is acute, but I can't remember the name of the other. If she is able to get around somewhat (not totally unable to walk), then most likely she wouldn't fall into the acute category. I'd suggest asking her social worker about the process. Here we are able to select from a list of facilities so we don't have to settle for wherever they decide to place someone; however, it will depend upon where a bed is available.
Around here some facilities are really good while others are sub-par. It might help if you know your options ahead of time. The quality of rehab she receives just might make a difference. Please at least check on this before she is discharged from the hospital and know your options ahead of time. You might even be able to get some friends and relatives to give you feedback on which facilities are better than others. If they don't know, a general family doctor who does patient visits in facilities would know, and so would clergy.![]()
Thanks buddy! We did that.![]()
Today is a good day for my wife and I! They finally found the cause of her illness and she's finally getting treated for it! So I can truly believe she's on the road to recovery, and that is a huge relief!
Sure she'll still have rehab, but at least now I can feel less worry that she'll be sent to rehab before she's ready for it!![]()
