farmageddon

left the ICU nine days ago after having two separate tubes jammed down my throat because of all the fluid in my lungs. I’ve been sitting in this room for nine days waiting for the insurance company and the hospital to agree on a rehab program. It finally happened today and I’m about to get my bed moved down to the spinal therapy unit. What the fuck took nine days? I should be halfway done with my therapy instead I’m not starting until tomorrow. To say I’m bitter and just say I’m angry it’s not a stretch on any level. One of the therapy workers said it’s usually 14 to 17 days before they can prep someone to go home in my condition (I have no use of my legs whatsoever and will need a wheelchair. ) That’s two more weeks I’m away from Erica and Maxwell. I’ve already been here for almost 3 weeks. Can we please finish this up and let me get the fuck out of here? Even though my legs don’t work I still can feel people touching them. I can feel people pinching my legs. The doctor say that’s a great sign. All the doctors I spoke to said it’s a very slow recovery as the nerves that were decompressed need to blossom. It’s not an overnight thing but because I can feel sensation in my legs, most of the doctors are hopeful. Who knows where we will be weeks or months down the road? I am just ready to get out of here and get back to Erica.
