I am in my toughest battle, but will perservere.

Sending me home today, but I do not want to go yet. Feel like they are pushing me out too quickly. Thinking about filing a review protest to force them to let me stay, but I wonder how good they would treat me.

 

No one is ever really ready to go home. I hope all goes well, and still sending good thoughts your way, Randy.

 

Hope you have a speedy recovery RB, you'll be kickin' ass and taking names before you know it!

 

Do what you gotta do. The folks on the floor there I'm sure would be good with it.

 

Get a hotel room nearby for a few nights, that way you have the re-assurance of your doctors nearby.

 

Love you, my friend.

 

I still have an ardent admiration for you, and miss seeing you.

 

Good advice.

 

I wore out the word nearby, Huh

 

I didn't notice. I thought your suggestion was legit good advice.

 

My #1 recommendation to anyone having surgery away from home, or who feels uncomfortable with their rate of discharge. The duration of the trip and mental stress aren't worth it if you aren't feeling confident in the doctors decision.

 

Agreed, but I had a long talk with the head PT person, and she convinced me I was better off going home. I think she is very legit with no BS, and she used logical thinking with a twist of dark humor. I was putty in her hands. Plus I felt tons better Monday night. So now I am home thanks to our
next door neighbors who drove the 3 hours to bring my son so he could drive my wife's car home. She is a step from becoming a basket case, and driving on the Interstate stresses her to the max.

I am a lucky man to have such great friends for neighbors. They thanked us for allowing them to help, and were sincere. A good life lesson here fellows. At least two people from church offered to do it, my high school buddy offered to drive from Corryton, and I am willing to bet two members of the 8th would have if asked, along with a number of friends from the music fraternity. A life lesson indeed.

 

Glad you are home, Randy. Keep working hard and know that we are pulling for you.

 

Welcome home sweetie. Of course you have great friends, you're a great person.

 

Rb, I imagine if you asked any one of us, we'd have figured it out and made it work.

 

I suspect that you will rest better in your own bed and recuperate faster in familiar surroundings.

 

right now unable to lie down in bed . Using recliner, have extreme constipation, tried Fleet enema with no success. Since surgery (May 25th) have only had 1 bm without help.

 

Keep at it, RB.

 

Sorry to hear. That makes life miserable. Hope it clears up sooner than later.

 

Kale!
