Yep I'm trying. They keep putting more of the responsibility on me. I was hurting today after. Did 4 stand and pivots and sit. I couldn't wait to get the pain meds. Even after that I still hurt. My shoulder mostly. I'm not supposed to use it and they jump on me when I do but I still use it some. I must've screwed up my shoulder good. Last time I didn't have to have surgery but guess I broke the socket in a few places so lots of hardware there. No pain no gain is true. Each day it's a little more.

Awww Patrick, shoulders are a mess to heal. Listen to the docs, they know what's going on in there and usually want you to use it as much as possible. If they're telling you not to use it there must be good reason.

The word neuropathy is more negative than the word cancer at this moment. I think I need to take a few weeks off.
Yep I agree. I talked to Ginny and she was crying cause her feet hurt so bad. We don't need her to fall. Life sucks right now for us and I had to add to the mess by doing this. At least this place isn't terrible but I'm tired of being here, no choice at this point tho. I feel so bad that I did this. I don't know how long this is going to heal. Well day shift is coming on so suppose I should go. Just brought me my coffee. You know you have been here too long when you don't even have to ask for the coffee in the morning the way you like it. At least I get along with all of the aides. Would not like to be in a place like this with no end in sight. I'm sure I would rather not be if you know what I mean. Shower day my 2 therapy appts are at lunch time at the zoo. I am watching too much news. Want to know anything about what is happening in Trumpland. Me either unless it is a donation from him. Doubtful. Woke up at 0430 and been up since. Damn looks like things are starting again. Well have a vape and hope you don't get caught. My stupid arm sometimes feels like it's not mine when I move it. The bone doesn't feel like it is attached. Weird well more info later.

This is the only picture I have so far. There are 4 pups in there, 2 are covered by Mama's hair! But it's a picture! Ellie had another girl after this picture. 3 girls, 2 boys. Nice size litter. Mom and pups doing well.

Wow therapy was a beech today. I'm doing more and more myself and I can definately feel it. I'm not suppose to use my shoulder for anything but I caught myself grabbing something to stand, big mistake. The therapist said something and so did my shoulder. Dang its hurtin now. Ahh just got my pain meds. Much needed. Figgered when I told her I need them at 5 she would hold them for a while but she didn't. Now I just need another cup of coffee. Hopefully ah shes getting it now. I needed to get my hearing aids checked then I did this. So now I guess I can make an appt at the VA for a new hearing check it takes a month shouldn't be a problem. That's if I can make that. I sure like this new little mod. So tiny and works just fine. Oh boy here comes the slop wagon. High point of the day. Then to try to figure out what the hell is on your plate. This guy screws up a grilled cheese. I ate some of the lunch and haven't stopped farting since. Lovely Adds to the wonderful aroma around here. Still don't have a room mate and don't want one. I'm spoiled having a private room. Just what I need a grumpy old fart in here with me. Come on pain pills. Its snowing besides. Well talk to you later.

Tell you what, if you were in reach of the VA hospital in Albuquerque, that would make you insanely optimistic.

Oh, I once spent nearly three weeks in the rehab hospital here, and if there was one thing I couldn't complain about, it was the food. Had to order a day ahead, but the menus were really confusing. A couple of nurses were really good, but a couple were complete witches - spelled with a capital B.

Houston may have flurries tonight. Mostly rain, tho. Maybe some snow on the far north side. It's been maybe 14 years since Alvin got much snow. We got 6" then around Christmas. We got maybe an inch or so several years ago. Most of it was gone the next day except in spots that stayed shady.

Well Dr. appt tomorrow morning at 0815. A driver is going to take me down and drop me off. I'm really scared about this. Ginny is not going because she is scared to drive in case there is ice that early which may be. So I'm going to be there by myself with 1 working arm and 1 working leg. I'm really scared about this. I tried to get Ginny to meet me there but she is not going to take the chance. The driver is going to come back and pick me up when I'm done. She says I'm a big boy I can handle it which appears to be what I'm going to have to do. Ginny doesn't seem to understand that i'm scared to be just left there by a medical cab driver and he will come back after. I don't know maybe I'm just being a big baby but I guess thats the way it is going to be.

I'd be scared, too.

I don't understand. Has something changed that I missed? You can't go home yet because you aren't mobile enough to safely be alone, right? And, yet they'll drop you off outside by yourself and leave you there?

I must be missing something. Either that, or what they're doing is criminal.

If that is the way it is, maybe you should simply refuse.

I use medical cabs all the time. My insurance pays. The drivers are well-trained, and sometimes they transport people who are medically frail. An ambulance is not necessary if they are wheel-chair access equipped. No reason to worry.

Call the Dr & fill them in on what is going on with you. Call them when you get there & they'll come to the entry & get you. Insurance should cover the transportation. I used medical transportation several times.
