I was discharged from the rehab facility yesterday. It felt so good to sleep in my own bed once again. I could not have found a better place to rehabilitate from my wounds. The building had 4 wings, two for long term care and two for short term care. Each wing has a capacity of ten patients, so I was lucky that they had a n open bed when I needed it. The staff was invariably professional and caring.
I still have a long way to go before I am healed, but for now am thankful to be able to get around with a walker. I am enrolled with VNA, so I can get the help I need to get back to a normal life.

I found after the first few weeks the mental part was the hardest for me, learning to be patient so I can heal. They offered me rehab but my husband said he could take care of me and he did a great job including lots of flowers and teddy bears, lol. The only bad part of being at home is physical therapy appts here hard to get so I dont start until April 2. I bet you had it in rehab.
I have mostly sore muscles if I walk too much or sit, I heard they either stretch, move or cut and repair the muscles so makes sense it takes lots of time to heal.
I walk outside with walker but around house use cane, walker and hiking sticks.
Happy healing!

Sending you healing thoughts.

It takes hard work to rehab, good on you fir your achievements.
