My therapy for the day.... It is getting better... but slowly ..... for those who care

[Botany]

Watched my son play in his basketball league…. Akron J.C.C…. Good players but the bed sore on my
butt had me get off the folding chair and go find a sofa.


Tried to use the gym but I have lost so much strength since my illness I couldn’t even bench
45 lbs … I used to do more… I have a long way to go …. But I walked about 1/4 mile on my
own.

I went to his house and cooked some breakfast and did the dishes. Even doing the dishes was
enjoyable. The nursing home where I am at now serves powdered or freeze dried eggs and
fruit in heavy syrup. along with other crap. Omelets with cheese, onions, some spices,
toast, and coffee was treat! My daughter in law (pro cook and baker) had some left over scones
and some fruit around too.

Got lots lab licks from my dog. And some grandkid time. I made play-doh cakes with
the older one and held the younger as we looked @ some picture books. Nice.

I took a real shower. Damn it felt good.

I had to go back to the nursing home but we are working on my discharge before the end of
the month.

Stairs are still a problem but they are getting better slowly.

Sorry to

********

Everybody say it with me. Those were not payments to Trump but bribes and the Steele Dossier
was right! Rinse lather and repeat. Fuck Fox and the GOP because the truth is toxic to them.

1. Glad to hear of your progress and that you're getting some better food! nt

[Walleye]

2. Sounds like you're making a lot of progress, good luck and continued recovery

[MOMFUDSKI]

3. You sound great!

Glad you had a fun day and a shower. One day at a time. . .

4. I have seen enough tv to last my lifetime

And can the chef. E.Lougasi (so) take his pans and go away?

8. Plus they always have crappy channels available.

I've had the misfortune to spend some time in rehab facilities. The quality of the eggs has been an ongoing discussion. Men who have been in the military swear that the scrambled eggs are powdered. They're always served cold, too.

The two-times-a-week showers are not frequent enough. The thought of being dirty just adds to the awfulness of being there. Don't get me started on the laundry people losing clothing, or the wifi that doesn't work more than it does. That made the nurses' job a lot harder.

That's why it's good that you had some time to spend with your family today in non-institutional surroundings. Best of luck for your release.

It's Emeril Lagasse who's constantly trying to sell his pots and pans.

5. Wishing you good health and healing food!

6. Sounds like those little pleasures in your life are the best medicine

And here’s hoping you can make it more than just once in a while now that you’re on the road to recovery.

7. Sounds like excellent therapy, to me. And lab licks are miracle cures.

9. If you just lost a tube last week, don't try to bench anything

for at least 6 weeks, you're on weight restrictions or you should be. You're still healing.

Start working more on your endurance rather than your strength, and that will most likely start with walking, either outdoors or on a treadmill at the gym when the weather stinks. Then start slowly on an elliptical for stair climbing rehab.

Don't try to rush any of this stuff, it can make things worse instead of better.

Iron Botany's just going to have to wait.

12. Back to the 10 pound free weights

Thanx

13. Wishing you continued progress and healing.

14. Sounds like today was heavenly (except for the hard bench)!

[people]

15. Glad you are getting better!

So good that you have family there. The time will pass and you will be so much better before you know it. Lucky for you to have those scones!

[LoisB]

16. Good progress.

Hopefully, you will get out of the nursing home by month's end.

[ShazzieB]

17. Yay for progress!

It'll take time to get back to doing all you were able to do before, but you'll get there, a step at a time.

18. I care - and I'm with you, Botany.

Sounds like a good morning. You got to see your son play bball! That's exciting. Did you find a couch?

Nice breakfast you made. For you and your son, or others?

I hope you get your discharge soon. Then, as your body heals, you can get some energy from whatever exercise you can do.

Thinking of you.

19. Glad to hear you had a great day!

It sounded perfect. I like that you’re staying positive. 🙂

We need all the good Democrats we can get in Ohio to fight the Republican dunderheads we’re stuck with

23. Keep plugging away

If you don't enjoy the food you get, would Door Dash be an option? Might be able to get a meal in-between your visits home.
Hope you are tip-top soon

Got some great Italian and Mexican stuff.
