My husband called last night. He likes the weekends at the facility because there are a couple of nice nurses that take good care of him. The meals are still a challenge though.
His roommate has a hearing problem; and he had to tell someone to turn his TV down. He had fallen asleep with the TV blaring. It's also a challenge to get a good night's sleep there. People will talk loudly in the halls at all hours. No one seems to have a clue.
No physical therapy on the weekends.
Thank you for your continued support, prayers and thoughts.

Maybe you can find him a set of those soft, noise canceling headphones, they are wonderful for blocking out noises!

I can definitely vouch for that. I have a pair and would recommend them as well. They shouldn't be significantly expensive last I knew.

I wouldn't want anyone to steal them. There's a lot of that going on in facilities such as that.

One of my daughters bought my son a pair. He is in and out of the hospital quite often and he uses them there. He says they help a lot.

Maybe they assume “everyone” is deaf. 
Glad he’s doing well. Let’s pray he gets home where he can have you, home therapy, normal meals, and a good night’s sleep soon!

@LindaOHio — I tell people I appreciate boring after having my “boring” Thanksgiving disrupted by my mom’s brain aneurysm in 2007. You appreciate “boring” once it’s not there.

I'm glad he's being well cared for, and I totally sympathize with his frustrations regarding the clueless people,so rude on their part.

@LindaOHio The custodial staff polishing the halls with those big machines... at least that's been my experience when spending any time in hospital.

If the nurses are nice..maybe he can get their assistance with the noise pollution.

The TV thing makes me smile and shake my head. Some of my "older" friends are a bit hard of hearing, and I have to talk loud to reach them. They are comical when they get stoned and can't really hear/understand what each other is saying.

Hubby should request a room change or wear earplugs.

No, no one seems to have any concern for those that are trying to sleep.

I think he should have asked to be transferred to another room; but he doesn't want to do that.

I was thinking on the same line as Marie. A noise cancelling headphones might be a good help if your husband is comfortable using it.
Happy that he likes the weekend there

Maybe your husband can wear ear plugs when he tries to sleep.

Blessings to him and I keep him in my prayers, Really wish he could have been transferred, Have you asked the other facility to let you know if an opening occurs?
