Rehab Adventure

Have spent the past 6 months - yep, 6 - in hospital fighting off a particularly vicious form of pneumonia - am now on the last leg of this particular odyssey, rehabilitation - so if I try hard, I could be home at Christmas!!

Because you catch funny bugs in a hospital after so long, I managed to catch one that makes me "contact precautions" so everyone that comes in has to glove up and wear a plastic apron. It also meant that tho I was ready for rehab over 8 weeks ago, they didn't have a single room available which I needed so we just carried on at the hospital - and I did make great strides too - and then on Friday, I got the call - so got ripped away from what had become my comfort zone and all the nurses who had made life bearable all in the space of 2 hours and down to GARU (Geriatric and Rehabilitation Unit) - had a miserable weekend, bawling to myself about having to be there and I didn't like anyone, ya da ya da, but Monday finally arrived ...
