I Want to Be Healthy

I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately. I have been in hospital, a lot. This week I was admitted on Sunday, released on Thursday. Last month I was admitted on the 6th, released on the 23rd. Internal bleeding. Last month I was given 3 units of blood. IV blood thinners, due to A Fib. I also got a bacterial blood infection, from the IVs. Today I am so weak I cannot walk Daisy, my neighbor has been taking her out.
This sucks
I miss talking with my friends

We miss you. I know Daisy is keeping an eye on you. Feel better soon.

@Mamapolo2016 She is sleeping at my side. I missed her so much

I know. Do you have visiting nurses helping?@mrmoose

@Mamapolo2016 I have a home health aid coming Sunday to assess my living situation

Sounds like you won’t have to try hard - but act pathetic - get more help!@mrmoose

@Mamapolo2016 I can't do much, I have never asked for anything before. I will be having a resource person visit next week, to find out what resources I can use

Good. I would suggest having a relative or neighbor with you. Sometimes they try to ‘conserve resources’ and having a witness to what they told you can help. @mrmoose

@Mamapolo2016 My neighbor is staying here for a while, to keep an eye on me as I have fainted so much. I am afraid it will be recommended that I live in an assisted living place.

Mmm. Better than some other options. A lot of places you can have a dog. You can still have independence - they just help when you need it.@mrmoose
