After another month of rehabilitation at Heartland I was sent home on July 24 - 6 months to the day after I was admitted to Lynchburg General Hospital. I was still in a wheelchair.
My first home health care nurse spoke candidly with me and told me how dire my circumstances were. I told her I would be normal.
I was still quite weak and required significant care. Home health care nurses would come by and help care for me. I could feed myself but little else. Kathy took time off from work to care for me.
Once home, I continued healing. To say I was determined would be an understatement. in a matter of days, I was in a walker and out of the wheelchair. I was walking a few weeks later.
