Pugwash's peg-leg

[Ted Robinson]

And still humans are better teachers than any book. I am learning a lot from both of you, and what strikes me , and this is to both gentleman, is your dignity. Thank you for valuable lessons of life.

What a nice compliment, thank you

Good morning. I know the frustration of PT and OT. It seems kike you're getting somewhere and suddenly back to zero. Im back in the hospital again because the nursing home I'm on took my medicine from my bedside (saying they were better able to manage my medication.) and lost them. After a week with no breathing treatments and being kept on a high dosage of steroids for too long I have a serious case of pneumonia. We get two choices, give up or keep the faith. I'm choosing the latter and hope you can too. Try to educate yourself on precisely the treatment you need and common timelines for reaching landmarks or goals. I believe these therapists aren't dedicated enough to losing is as clients
I'll keep you in my prayers. God bless.
Ted

How can a nursing home lose medication! Absolutely awful...

It's actually worse. I was complaining I couldn't breathe and they told me it was anxiety. They refused to call an ambulance t9 get me to the emergency room. I took an Uber and discovered I have pneumonia in all four quadrants of my lungs. Absolute incompetence.
Sorry Pug I didn't mean to hijack your thread I'll move my woes elsewhere.
Keeping you in my prayers

Ted, I sympathise.

The same happened to me during the last stint in Rotherham Hospital.
My protestations fell on deaf ears until, after 5 days without I couldn't get out of bed at all!
What a s--t hole that was!

First the wind blows one way and then another...

Today I had an audience with a prosthetics consultant, who did his job and listened to me.

Nothing guaranteed, but subject to a favourable initial chat with 'musculoskeletal' re physio assessment of my elbow, he opened the way for a return to continued physio with 'Mel', with the prospect of developing skills where I can demonstrate walking with minimal aids, with the further prospect of being issued with a fully articulated limb!

My gratitude to Ettienne, for his kind words.
A proper gentleman.
