Hi Crystal,

I finally have some time to write back as I’m hooked up to IV antibiotics, and have to keep my right arm still, and my left arm is paralyzed.

Some of your ailments are the same as I had like c-diff back in 2010 as it was caught in the nursing facility as with other infections, so my immune system is not 100 percent, but it’s much better than it was.

Surgery went well, but it was more painful than the first when they said it wouldn’t be. Pain meds were more delayed than I thought, but was so happy when I arrived to my room and was already receiving as much as I could, thenurse wasn’t that nice cause I kept asked for pain relief. There still seems to be an infection in the leg, so at some point I may have to wear antibiotics when and if I leave here for a nursing facility. I have Medicare, but took out a supplemental plan which I have to look over as far as my coverage being I live alone!

24 steps is slot let alone two for myself!

You’re better off getting a jump on everything before you can’t or it becomes more difficult, but would say you’re handling things very well!

My brother bought a new hospital bed for my mother the type you describe and can fold into a seat, but instead of coming home she became a permanent resident of that heath care
