WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION


You all know about the fall but I thought you might like to see my bruises and also see that life in the hospital isn't all that bad. There is always someone around fussing over you and getting you whatever you want. The downside of that it is a difficult to get any sustained sleep when you are being awakened every two hours for meds, checking life signs or, it sometimes seems, just waking you up for the fun of it. Another downside is that the food is not that exciting. I am home now and the care here is just as good as the hospital and it's a lot more comfortable being in familiar surroundings. My daughter Jeanine is here doing yeoman service and appropriately babying me. It's working because I am feeling a lot better, the pain is subsiding, my bodily functions are operating properly, I have a good appetite and my balance is better, although I am using a walker just to be safe. So, I am on the mend and expect to improve every day.
