Hi Dave,
How deep and big was your sore. Mine is not very big as it is
deep. They are definatly going to be doing some muscle reconstruction in
there. I have to admit I'm nervous. I'm scared about going into a
rehab hospital around here. The care I hear is a lot worse than when I was
there and then it was terrible. The thing that benefited me was that I was
eventually able to get up on my own towards the end but when I couldnt dress
myself or transfer, I was consistantly late to rehab. Because I was more
work than anyone else I was saved for last. I wasnt getting turned or
woken up to turn for the first month or so when I was there. It scares me
to think that I have to be bed bound for such an amount of time and have that
terrible care. My friend and I sat and thought about all the nursing homes
and rehabvcenters in the area and it is quite ugly to even think about it.
The last thing I want are some complications because the nurses aren't good or
they are overworked. I'm thinking of asking to get a prescription for a
certain type of bed and stay home and have my neighbor help look after me and
maybe look into meals on wheels. I have a whole list of questions for my
doctors.
Stacy
