What I'm Thankful for Today, September 22

September 22, 2020 7:40pm CST
I'm still i the hospital. I'm thankful I am still here. The nursing staff are wonderful. I'm thankful I'll be going to a nursing facility when I leave here. I'm thankful I'm doing things a little better than earlier today. My doctor was here early this morning. He told me my knee was worse than he expected. I also have thin skin, so it was hard to stitch up the wound. I'm thankful he could get it stitched up. Okay, that's what I'm thankful for. I'm getting off the laptop now. It's difficult for me to work on the smaller scree and my bifocals. What are you thankful for today. Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

@just4him Those exercises are important, I had no surgery, but when I hurt my right knee falling from the stairs I also needed those exercises.

Thank you. I hope so too. I've been resting it as much as possible. Tomorrow I start range of motion exercises with the knee.

@LadyDuck Yes, they are. I'll be glad when I can move my leg without help. When I've been out of bed with help from PT and OT, then I can get some motion on that leg. But not when I'm laying in bed.

@crazyhorseladycx It's probably a combination of both. We have three hospitals here. They all have good ratings.

It's a shame you can't go home but it will be much easier at a nursing facility. Stay strong and positive. I'm sure you will.

@just4him I'm so glad to know you're being well looked after. I was telling my dad not too long ago that having good and caring nurses / doctors around while being in hospital really does help to feel more comfortable. Beautiful photo, continue recovering and see you around later. I am thankful to be having some time to myself today. Have the house to myself which I really needed.
