Rehab: Part Hospital, Jail. Insane Asylum: 20

 They had brought ne hime in A Gem Non-Emergency Wheelchair transport van. The driver unstrapped me, pushed me up ramp into the entryway. She brought my wheelchair and few belongings up into the living area while I negotiated the four steps on foot. She then took me to my lift chair and went on her way.  I was now on my own, so to speak,

     My wife is usually quiet neat, but I came into a home in disarray, many things scattered about tat constituted tripping hazards for me. I knew from taking to her daily those 40 days in rehab had been a struggle for her, I Just didn't realize how much so. I soon leaned.

First, I discovered my computers weren't working, you couldn't open them. I quickly got the old one running, but not the new one. I am going to ave to call Apple on this.  There was also a porno site now on the site. Gold grief, it gave you a choice of anything you can imagine. I was able to get rid of it.

All our financial balances were out of wack. Several of our bills hadn't been pad and were two months delinquent, two of our accounts had been frozen. At least our utilities and internet were still operating, although in arrears.  It took a couple of weeks to get that all straightened out. 

I had somehow lost our voice mail and that proved difficult to remedy.

Worst I discovered all my ids hd disappeared, my diver license, my Medicare Card; in fact all my health insurance cards, my AAA membership and my AARP membership cards. It took a lot of phone calls t I did get replacement cards mailed to me.  Everything but my driver's license. I had to go to a Delaware Moter Vehicle Office for a new license, This was bothersome, for it is difficult for me to travel.  We no longer have a car, so I have to arrange for someone to take me anywhere. Then I need to take a walker, because I do not walk well. 

I did finally get a replacement Driver's License.

We have  pretty well gotten every thing back to normal. I now have our pills all delivered to us by Bayada Pharmacy. Nayada also supplies me with aid 4 days a week, who bathes me, cooks my breakfast and lunch, does my laundry and other chores. I receive at no cost "Mom;s Meals", which are pretty good. I now have Doctor's who came to the house, including blood tests and X-rays when needed. I will get transportation for any health related needs.  

It is true I can't move about well, am wearing adult pull-ups , lost my handwriting and have a very hard time keying, but i am happy.  I do not want to go back to rehab again and I am training my wife on using the computer. She s struggling with her own health issues these days.  I thank everyone who had helped us through this. May God bless you all.
