Good morning Galen!!

My own chair!
My own bed[ smile]

If I ever say I'm going into a nursing home ----

Shoot me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

glad to hear you are back at base galen

I hope you'll be querying the bill, Galen? How lovely to be home again, though. Nowhere like it, is there?

Happy homecoming Galen rest up. Bliss indeed.

They've charged Saturday and today as full days. How rude. Even my dog's boarding kennel doesn't do that! Hope you're on the mend.

I'm HOME bliss!
Just had the bill, they've charged me for 4 days. I went in sat afternoon. Went home before midday today . Is it my maths or theirs?

~Thinking of you Galen, sorry didn't know you were under the weather. Hope you feel better soon xxx

Oh Dear, poor you, Galen. You obviously can't wait to get back home.

Whatever has happened I wish you a speedy recovery.

I don't know what's happened but it sounds grim! Hope your stay there is brief.

Quite. You just wait until I tell you what happened at our 'marvellous' nhs!

And yet the charges for those having the 'privilege' of staying there is very high.....

Under £7 an hour. I've just been talking to the night carer( lovely motherly sort) and she says her son has been waiting for a reply to his job application here since before Xmas

Oh Galen.....it must be vastly understaffed and I do wonder what the hourly rate is for the staff that are working there.

DD is visiting tomorrow and staying overnight. My GP is supposed to ring me tomorrow, the consultant said to tell him to refer me for urgent physio.
Be glad to get home. The lady opposite keeps shouting and banging for attention. The one next door keeps moaning 'please help me, somebody please help me'. The place is obviously understaffed.
They don't even have sky tv so no history channel.

Glad you are going home galen but take it easy.

Pleased you are going home, take care and don't overdo it

Hello Galen, and best wishes for a quick recovery.

Good news that you can hopefully go home tomorrow Take it easy when you get back

What bad luck. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Just seen this and not sure what happened, but I hope you make a pain free speedy recovery.

Galen I hope it improves soon and that you get lots of help. Are you in the nursing home you were talking about or in hospital?

Did they give you any exercises to do? They just said to me "Use it normally but don't overdo it" which was not very helpful - how much is overdoing it?

I found some excellent exercises online from Oxford Hospitals Physiotherapy Department which I am doing daily to get the strength back. Still can't reach very far up my back, but can do most things.

I have only just caught up with this and send lots of good wishes for a speedy recovery.

Good news Galen, take it steady

Take care Galen sending

Galen I hope your lovely neighbour will be on hand to help out when needed. Apart from having to cope with the residual pain things as simple as getting dressed in the morning (those pesky bra straps!) can cause real problems. Probably a little extra help around the house wouldn't go amiss either. Take care.
