Home at last!

[Kit10]

After 2 months (!) in hospital I finally got home on Friday.

My hands were very stiff one day, the next I couldn't move them at all. That was very scary.

They decided I had a virus, which took a week to get over, then I caught another - I had high temperature and a very phlegmy chest. They also put me on Baclofen. Covid? Don't know, they say hospitals no longer test for Covid, they now treat it as just another flu bug. That took another week, then another 4 weeks to recover from lying in bed for weeks...

And now I need to recover from the trauma of that long in hospital... Urrrrggghhhhhhhhh!😱😱😱🛏️🛏️🩺 and rebuild some arm and hand mobility and strength 👌🤌👋👊👏💪💪💪

I really feel your pain 🫂❤️ back in 2021, I spent 27 days in hospital after having a status epilepticus event. I felt confused, lonely, and the amount of times I weren't able to see visitors is crappy 😬 I do remember feeling tonnes better when I got steroids infused! I was able to get to the main entrance to see my husband, swap dirty washing for clean washing, tell him of the updates I had whilst in there - the phonecall from my MS nurse telling me to stop copaxone on X date because its been found I've got highly active MS and will be starting on ocrevus 😁 I was able to get out of my wheelchair and go back to using my stick 🙌Maybe see a physio for your hand and arm mobility 🤔

Sorry to hear of that ordeal you've been through. Hope you can finish your recovery comfortably at home now and that never happens again. 🙏

[Greentime]

So frustrating for you! Hope you feel good soon.

[Kit10]

Thank you all.

My friend I’m sorry to hear you were ill, thank God you’re home and on the road to recovery. I understand how you feel. Last year at this time, I was hospitalized for almost a month due to kidney stone that caused me to be very ill with an infection. I was so glad to get home in my bed! Take care , and continued prayers of healing and strength. Blessings and Peace. NeeC

I’m really glad to hear that you are home.. glad you got care when you needed it. Keep working hard on regaining your strength.. are you going to do any outpatient physical therapy?

[Kit10 in reply to AquaZumbaFan]

I hope so.

[AquaZumbaFan in reply to Kit10]

sometimes you have to be your own advocate to ask your doctor what you need… Like, maybe in-home PT or outpatient PT 🙏🏼🤞🏻🤗

[CatsandCars]

Wow, that's a long time to spend in the hospital with scary symptoms. I'm so sorry. I hope you will recover quickly and be in better spirits now that you're home!😊

[Elizt3]

So sorry to hear that you had such a long, challenging time in the hospital. I wish you the best in your recovery

[Tazmanian]

welcome home ask your neurologist about physical therapy to help you get back in shape

[Kit10]

A PT from the hospital is coming to visit me on Friday and I was referred to the community physio team before I left.

So happy you are home now! Feel better and enjoy your house and your own bed!

Two months? Oh, I am sorry! So you went in in 2023 & came out in 2024. Enjoy being home & focus on you! Blessings to you as you rebuild strength!
