A very fine non-partisan colour that denotes someone who is above politics!

No, you should take advantage of the fact that purple is a colour often associated with royalty. Put some gold trim around it and a little gold crown on top and go for the princess look! 👑

One out of four of my granddaughters would vote for purple and pink. With unicorns.

She’s the youngest.

Yeehah!

Now stay in bed till they tell you you can get up. The glue needs to dry on your helmet anyway.

(Plus which, we’re nowhere near done thinking up things you can glue on to it. I think cat ears are a good idea, myself. Not from an actual cat, of course; those need to be worn by the cat.)

Would it be crude to glue a whoopee cushion onto that helmet?

She was let go.  
I was sorry she didn’t come tell me bye. Probably because she lied and tried to throw me under the bus.

Ivy my new CNA is just as nice but she doesn’t talk alot. (Knits, I’m getting a new shaw)  
She did tell me every one here considers me to be a problem.  
Not, like they’re mad, more like they wish they could help me enough to get home.

I would consider that a compliment. Aggressive non-conformity with highly bureaucratic institutions is usually a virtue.

Can I use your post @wolfpup ?

I’m writing it on a half poster board and I will display it on my door.

It’s pure poetry.

What allows someone to go home? My ex hates it where he is, if he physically improves, can they send him to assisted living? His dad ended the lease on his apt without his permission so its empty.

Very likely so. I get the sense that she was taking advantage of you thinking of her in friendly terms, to get away with whatever she was doing in her car when she was supposed to be keeping an eye on you.

Indeed – a real “problem” patient is like the abusive angry guy who was there a few weeks ago.

Oh, that is much better than I was worried about their not seeing you any more. I get worried because I’ve seen a couple of bad, bad, bad care centers. But focus on that goal if you can please. Getting good enough to get back home.

Hugs.

For me, I have to get stronger. My legs are weak. Gotta build them up. In other words, ambulatory and safe.

My insurance will cover me up to 6mos in hands-on assisted rehab care. I’ve moved 2 levels. 3 to go.

I assume your ex-boyfriend has rehab care givers who check off charts to determine where he is.

Say, I quit eating. That would be an X on someones chart. They’ll add up all the bad or good marks. And make needed care decisions.

Plus I have my CNA. Who is paid a premium to just tend to me. It makes it easier for me to navigate this place. I’m not worried if she’s here.  
Unless I get a bad one, like before.  
I also have 3 Doctors checking on me.

Medicare, and Medicaid are entities I do not know about.

There are generally Social workers attached to these places. Find one and tell them you’ll be caregiver to your ex-boyfriend when he’s released. They’ll give you the lowdown.

I hope he gets the care needed and you’re ok through this grand trek called health care in America.
