My Therapists Are Late

I hope writing this proves they will be in my room before I finish this post.
The nurse put in voicemail messages this morning that I want to go home today and am hoping for discharge evals. I'm really hoping.
I had one of the worst nights. The bed is the worst I've ever slept in. I tried sleeping in the recliner instead but that didn't work. The bed allowed me to lay flat, but wasn't at all comfortable.
So yes, I want to go home. I sent a message to my son to pick up my laundry and told him I hoped to be home today. The nurse who supervised my shower at 3 AM said going home the same day can happen.
The OT therapist came in briefly and said she'll see what she can do, So, I hope I hear soon. I don't want to spend another night here.
Okay, that's my vent for now and hope. Still not here. Will get this posted with a picture. How's your day going? Thanks for reading.

How are you suppose to recuperate with an awful mattress you can't sleep on? That's terrible, you'd be better off at home:) Let us know how this transpires!

@just4him It probably has something to do with paperwork. That's usually where it falls.

@Marilynda1225 I'll do my best. I'm going home tomorrow. All I need to do is sign the paperwork from the doctor.

aw, bless ya! i'd so hoped the recliner 'twas the ticket. i don't recall ya havin' such troubles with yer bed there prior?
did read (yup, 'm travelin' back'rds) that'cha get to go home tomorrow. readin' such made me happy, but don't reckon yer sis'll be there that soon....nor that new recliner.
woke tired (perhaps sympathy tossin' 'n turnin' fer ya?), such'd not 'mproved through the day. the morn 'twas purty nice's a break from high ends 'ccurred. such'd not last long though'n such proceeded to ramp by early 'fternoon. gustin' to 40 't feedin' time. the horses most bored. i'm thinkin' i might need to get 'em muzzles 'n figure a couple hours daily 'f turn-out.

My sister will be here tomorrow. The recliner on the 20th. She's bringing a cot.
Today we have rain all day with wind gust to 50 mph. Perfect for going home. I'm being facetious.
Thanks for the sympathy tossing and turning. I hope you get a break in your weather soon.
Turning out the horses sounds like a good idea.

Good lord 3AM. That is not conducive to your recovery if you are uncomfortable and can't sleep. Good luck l hope you are on your way home today. There is no place like home and you know the drill so won't take risks.

No, I'm not taking any risks. I know the drill. I've been through this once before. I'm looking at tomorrow as the earliest, otherwise Wednesday.
I'm always up that early because I go to the pool for 5 AM. Since the pool isn't an option, I take my shower.

Is say wow if your surgery was today and you get to go home already although when I had my second knee done I only stayed one night if I remember correctly.

@just4him so you were in rehab since you live alone I'm guessing and needed to be to a certain place before going home?

I've been taking a shower at that time because that's the time I normally wake up. Since I can't go to the pool, I take a shower.
I saw the social worker today about leaving, and she said I wasn't the only one complaining about the bed.

I always feel uncomfortable in a unknown bed. pretty picture. Yesterday I finally calculated what I think I will spend on Black Friday. I also did a training test for some work which wasn't what I thought it was. Some of it didn't work well. I may be doing the test of it next week. Today I was late on here because I was looking at stand for a light box I ordered. Tomorrow I going to do my first mammogram.
