I'm not gonna snitch.
Is there anything to snitch about? Neither of you has indicated aye or nay. Personally, I do not know whether my post violates any ECF rule, but if it does, I'd like to know. I'm hoping that your cryptic posts mean you don't know either. If you know, you have to tell... I call.I'm not gonna snitch.
I've got to remember the his check-off notation method and give it a try around here.
If the pictures of the vaping liquid in my most recent previous post are in violation of an ECF rule, somebody please let me know so I can delete them before a mod jumps on me. I didn't know, but I see that a 3-letter acronym I used was censored, and that same acronym is printed on the bottle.
In the interest of expanding my mind with more knowledge, will you or someone please point me to the rule that I inadvertently violated? I'm not challenging the rule; I'd simply like to read it.Whoa wowzer !
I did some editing.
Reminder that you can't discuss/mention that stuff at all on ECF in any way, shape or form.
Evading the Forum's Censors by 'spelling out the letters' is also a no-go.
Thanks, Cindy. I will now post my one-time objection to ECF's interpretation of its own rules.Forum Rules
34. Electronic cigarette definition
d. ECF does not allow or support the use or discussion of use of any substances that we consider unconnected to normal e-cigarette use or generally recognized as illegal. ECF is a single-topic resource and that topic is the e-cigarette.
e. Members may not discuss non-legal non-consumer drugs.
Why we don't allow drug talk
Thanks for posting this. It clarifies the reasons.
In the past, I did and believed what the doctor said, too often to my own detriment. At this moment, I am a robot, automatically following through. Most probably for my own good. They are giving me choices, though.
However, I did vacuum my apartment, and I am doing the laundry. Next, I do the dishes.
Yiddle, you just described me to a "T". Well, except that part about the brilliant mind. The point is, I'm hopeless when it comes to all the home repair and mechanical shenanigans that many men get up to. I envy guys who can do all that stuff, but I was never taught growing up and didn't really take an interest until it was a bit too late to master it all.I've found the remarks about 'honey do' lists quite amusing... Having been married to a man with a brilliant mind, but alas, little of that thing called common sense, and incapable of using any tool more formidable than a screwdriver without causing himself severe injury. All of the tools, power saws, drills, hammers, pliers, socket wrenches, etc....you name it...in our household were my personal possessions...

I had good experiences also. 3 times, all post surgeries. The first was great, private room. But that was different insurance & I had an open wound & already compromised immune system, so alone was good. 2nd & 3rd times I had roommates. Same Rehab/Skilled Nursing facility. PT & OT were great. The first time I couldn't walk at all h could barely stand alone. I was going thru something that started like Ginny's but went much further & I came really close to dying. I was so happy to get out of the hospital! I had no therapy there at all h was there for a month. Rehab was sooooo much better. During all of it I only had 2 negative experiences. Both because of panic attacks. Once they realized what was going on they were great with helping me. I wouldn't hesitate to go there again. You do need to go see her some & be a physical presence to be noted. But daily is not good. She needs to eat, sleep, rest up for therapy & let the morphine or delaudid or whatever wear off so she can think clearly & get her strength back. I really have a hard time coming out of that. It takes quite awhile. Biut it's not an "in there to die" thing. It's a "in there to get better & go home" thing.The specter of "nursing home" looms large for elderly people. I bucked and ....hed for quite a while about "being put in a nursing home!" I was mad for two weeks! Convinced myself that I was being put out of sight therefore out of mind. Nobody cared anything about me anymore! Nobody would ever come to see me in my "prison". Wah, wah, wah. I had just started dialysis. my body was a wreck from my kidneys dying, I had had two strokes and I could not care for myself. Someone even had to be with me at all times because not only could I not feed myself........I was having major hallucinations and kept wandering out of the house at night.
So here is probably what is going to happen with Ginny. She's gonna love it! I say this because I have a suspicion that there is going to be physical therapy, occupational therapy, meals served in her room if she so desires, and she doesn't have to wash her clothes or make up her bed. Her therapists (physical, occupational, speech etc.) are there for her. Yes they have other patients but the time they spend with her is hers only. There will be other folks younger, same and older than she is. They will have disabilities and stories waaaaaaaay different than hers.
I spent 6 weeks at this "awful place" and was sorry to leave.
Your job is to go there and look it over closely. If it doesn't suit you tell the doctor no you don't like this one, show you another one. Hold out for the one you like. Medicare will probably pay for it. But ask that so you won't be
surprised.
Any, all or none of the above may happen. I was fortunate enough to have wonderful staff who helped me heal, walk and speak again. Can't say a lot about my typing skills anymore but ya' gotta give up something. LOL

That's great! She'll be able to walk when she does come home. Coming home now is a terrible idea for both of you. Since mobility is an issue for both of you, please get that lined up next. Neither of you can keep doing this h it keeps coming up.Damn what a morning. Ginny called at 00730 and informed me that she was coming home today instead of going to rehab and the doc said ok. So I'm running around trying to find all the parts to the commode. Wondering what I'm going to do when she can't walk. She put me on the spot and said well you want me to come home right? I didn't know what I was going to do. Well Gdaughter called her and tried to get her to realize I couldn't do it yet. Then the doc said no you need to go to rehab. She said as sooon as they get a bed I called them and they are all ready for her just has to get a little more stable. So she is still going to the Rehab place which is really nice. The neighbor was there I was there when it wasn't so nice the neighbors mother was there. She'll get PT 2 or 3 times a day and get her back on her feet. Man I was like a chicken with his head cutoff. Really had me going for a while. She can't come home yet plus her WBC dropped a little today so they are not quite ready to move her out of hospital yet. Definitely got my heartrate up. Sheesh
Any time a new Dr steps in they start questioning meds. She's on stuff for several different things. In the end, they have to go with what the Drs that have been treating her all along say. Go up there & have a face to face with whoever is rocking the boat. Tell them if they have questions about the treatment program her Drs have her on then they should consult with her Drs. In the meantime they are not to change a thing. This is something you need to be tough about. She is only under their care temporarily, not on a continuing basis. They are not her Drs. If they object call her Drs.Well Ginny is all transferred. The place is also balking at her pain medication and talking about cutting her down. Now is not the right time to put her in withdrawals. I'm going to take a copy of her prescription in and tell them she has been on them for 1 1/2 to 2 years. I guess they don't realize she has 9 months to 1 year to live. That pretty much exempts her I believe. Talking about switching her to Condroitin or something like that part of the time. I don't know what it is that they can't understand. I will try to get them straightened. Possibly they don't know she has Stage 4 SCLC or something.
Awwwww..babeeeees!
