I just got my release date!

I've been in rehab for a broken leg for over three months. The facility I'm in is decent, but I've been feeling like a prisoner. I get out of here on the 21st. My cat, my friends and my coffee await me, not to mention my recliner. I want to sit in the sun! Thanks to the people who had to read about my whining, but it really helped me to be able to communicate with you.

After I left the hospital for West Nile virus, they sent me to a rehab hospital. I lasted about 2 days and 2 nights there. It was not conducive to my healing at all. Going home never felt so good.
Congratulations for sticking it out.
Ready, set, go 🏁💥🏠

DU will help lift you up - AND PERK you up!

One thing I’ve discovered through the years here, DU is always here. To keep you company and encourage you, any time of day OR night.

I believe it may have been Skittles who once said DU is “always here”.

it will be SO great to be home. I know. I did 2 and a half months away last year (coming up on the anniversary of my "disappearance" on the 26th) and I had the same feelings. good people helping me, but just wanted to be home.

It took 90 day of rehab for her to recover from lung and kidney problems.

The staff was OK and the facility OK but is was not a good place to spend a summer.

She was very glad to get home.
