Today, I am to check out of the hospital. Physical therapy wants to see me one more time. My doctor has to check in, also a visit from the anesthesiologist to be sure I am not having any complications from that. The occupational therapy girl talks with me. (Her job is to be sure I am able to do all the things that occupy my time--get dressed, bathe, shower, use the toilet. She checks to see that I feel comfortable with my home environment, and asks if someone will be there with me.)
Unfortunately, there is some confusion with the hospital case worker who is supposed to set up my home nursing and physical therapy. So instead of leaving around 2:00 like I expected, I end up waiting until 7:00. At least I got to have dinner...pizza, lemon meringue pie...yummy!
It is good to get back home. Our doggie is beside herself with joy, and climbs up on my chest for a snuggle and a nap as I settle on the couch..silly doggie! My knee hurts, but a pain pill helps me sleep for 4 hours, then another pill gives me 4 more.
