News about Maggiepie

Thank you for the update. Yes, I had been wondering about her especially after one of your recent discussions. I'd noticed she hadn't been commenting in myLot like she used to do. Please give her my best wishes. I'm all the time having to step around or over my cat and worry more about falling than about getting bitten. I tell her (the cat) all of the time that she's going to cause me grave injury. She follows me around almost every time I move. Prayers for Maggiepie.

I was in a rehab hospital in the summer of 2008 following surgery. I wasn't able to walk the hall the way they wanted me to so I got pneumonia and after a week I was well enough that I didn't need to be in the hospital any more but since I couldn't walk as well as they wanted me to and I lived on the third floor without an elevator they sent me to the rehab hospital. I did get to the point where I could walk up a flight of stairs, but most of the time I preferred to not walk if they didn't make me. I hope that she is doing ok now and that she gets the treatment that she needs and isn't forced to go home before she is ready. Have a great weekend!!!

Elic please give her all my Love and tell her to get better soon, she is in my Heart and thoughts Keep me updated on her as you know I am of to Germany on Monday for 5 Days to see my Mum and Family but I will have my Net book with me so will be about at times Give her a gentle hug from me Love to you as well

I'm sorry Maggiepie is still having alot of trouble with her health. My Mother had never been in a rehab hospital, she had rehabed in a nursing home. They will hopefull teach Maggiepie how to properly get up if she falls and such as well as build up some of her strength. My Mother used to fall all the time before she ended up in the nursing home the FD was tired of picking her up, though I will say her emergency pendant did come in handy so she could get help.

I haven't, but my ex went to one that did wonders. It was a trauma rehab center. Something really terrible happened to him and they had to reconstruct his face and he suffered brain damage too. I remember that after his ordeal, no one thought he was going to even make it but when he came out of the rehab hospital 6 months later, you could barely tell a difference in him. I hope she gets better soon and tell her we are thinking of her.

We will be praying for mags...let her know for us, okay? I have been worrying about here for a long time now and hope to see her back with us soon. Give her a hug for me, k?

I don't want to sound morbid, but I it seems every time someone I love goes into a rehab hospital they never come out. I get a bad feeling about it when I know someone who has to go in one. Of course that is all in my head, it must be.

Oh, dear! Thanks for letting us know, and give her our love when you see her next.

There are a lot of people sent home before they should be, thanks to the insurance companies trying to watch their bottom line. Now, I don't mind a business making a profit but when you send a new mom and baby home the same day and someone like Maggie home before the nurse things they are ready, there's something seriously wrong with the system and it needs to be fixed. My mom was in rehab after she fell and broke a couple bones in her pelvis. It was a horrible experience for us both. It was supposedly the best facility in the area but I visited several times to find a filthy bathroom with filth on the floor from the person in the next room (shared bathroom). And there was a nurse that would refuse my mom her pain meds because "she might get addicted". What?! At 82 why would you worry about someone being addicted?! I finally had to go over the head of the nursing supervisor to get something done and even then there were several times I was visiting when she would get it late or not at all and I'd have to raise hell again. The nurses and helpers were overworked and understaffed and the patients suffered--I did a lot of her care myself, the routine things like laundry, changing bedsheets and cleaning the room and bathroom, etc. NOT a good experience for her and it was terrifying for me. I hope Maggie is put into a good rehab and gets better soon. She needs to walk or she'll get more problems. It could actually turn out to be a very good thing for her, I hope so. Tell her we're praying for her.

Oh my she's just had a time! I remember chattign with her here but it seems like it's been over a year. I'm hoping she'll be better soon, and yes I think mayeb a rehab hospital would be best for her.

BLESS HER HEART, so sorry to hear she is having such a horrible time. Please tell her i am thinking of her, praying for her to soon get better. Thanks so much for letting us know. Hope all is well w/u.

poor lady. its not fair the way our doctors and insurance personel treat us these days. something really should be done. yes, its true. ive seldom seen her here. maybe she just hasnt felt like it when shes home either. i hope she feels better soon.

I'm so sorry to hear that she is still continuing to struggle with her health issues. This is really awful to hear. I personally have never been in a rehab hospital, but my grandmother was about six years ago after she fell down the stairs at her home and broke her hip. They were able to get her up and mobile fairly quickly with a walker and she really did continue to improve after she was released and was staying with us. Unfortunately, she did end up passing away about five months after her break as a result of an embolism.

Now that you mention it, I had noticed she wasn't responding! I was in the rehab wing of the hospital after my surgery and it was good because there was no way I could have managed at home. I think a lot of the reason they kept me so long was because I live by myself, so maybe they will send her to a rehab facility also. I guess a lot of it depends on the insurance, which was probably why she was released before she was ready. With any luck she won't have to stay there for a long time, so your paycheck won't take a BIG hit.

No I havent just had to go to therapy sessions after heart attack. I so hope Magpie is going to be ok! sending her energies to get well soon hugsssssssssssssssssssssssss and blessings

Oh dear, poor Maggiepie. She's certainly had her share of bad to last a while. I hope Maggie gets exactly what she needs in rehab and comes home strong in mind , body and spirit.

Poor Maggie. What a lot to have gone through. I hope that she feels better soon. I don't even know what a rehab hospital is, although I guess there's a clue in the name! We have convalescent homes here but they tend to be a pseudonym for "Retirement Home". Once in there's only one way out!

Greetings to Maggiepie! Behave yourself and do what the doctors and nurses tell you. Being in the hospital is not fun. It is work. No, I've never been in a rehab hospital, but my neighbor has been and is still is there. His wife says they have done him a world of good.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that she is having such a tough time! I hope that she will be doing better soon. I was wondering what happened to her, because I usually see her avatar around and have not seen it in quite some time. We both liked The Sentinel, especially Garett Maggart, and now I think of her every time I see a picture of him.

OMG - hope she is well...I didnt know she was so sick...please let her know she is in my prayers. I too hope they do what is best for her. I have never been in rehab.
