So, here I am, home after 53 days away! 22 of them in hospital and 31 days in 2 different rehabs. First one more like a nursing home with very little PT or OT (like 30 minutes a day because i was too fragile then) for 13 days to get me out of bed and using a walker and then 18 days in acute rehab with a minimum of 3 hours of PT & OT daily using walker and cane depending on the rehab I was doing.
I had to do 3 stairs (which was quite difficult at first, I'm still sketchy on them). Walking daily to increase to 150 feet with walker before resting. All kinds of work on parallel bars and focus on legs getting stronger and so much more.
OT focused on getting me in and out of bed safely, showering safely, strengthening my arms and helping me with RA issues complicating everything and so much more.
Glad to be home! Figuring out where to park myself after an hour long car ride.
