Thank you for continued healing prayers.
Early evening yesterday Larry was moved to an area of the hospital for therapy to be able to move around and walk again. The injured leg can't have allot of weight on it for several months The nurse said this is usually a 7 - 10 days stay.
There was a similiar health service for this closer to where we live, but I made the decision it would be better that he didn't have to go through being transported for an hour's drive.
The staff has been excellent of what I can see, but the food is unedible-I have never seen such horrible hosp food -I wouldn't eat it either so this is a big issue, I didn't realize how bad it was until after I made the decision for him to stay in the hosp. I am working on getting the phone number of the social worker in the hosp. to see if anything can be improved with the meals.
I did finally get a good night's sleep last night-waiting for it to warm up so I can get back to work outdoors-so much to do, will choose what I think is the most important
Hospital food is always bad. I hope the social worker can help. But at least he is where he can get therapy, treatment and not be moved so much. I think it was a smart decision. Might you soon be traveling with a bento box to leave behind?!
ReplyDeleteI thought too, that he should not be moved in a vehicle for an hour or more. now if we can address the food situation Yes I have been thinking about foods to bring him I need to check with the nurses there if I can do that
DeleteOh dear friend-I'm so sorry to hear this news about Larry's injury. I am praying for both of you. Please get rest, and be careful .
ReplyDeletethank you so much
DeletePrayers for Larry
ReplyDeleteBe careful out there by yourself! Don't get distracted with worries.
Be good to yourself. I applaud you for taking action on the lousy meals.
If they need help, then have them check out the UVM Medical Center in Burlington, Vermont. The food there, last I was there, is amazing. Their chocolate chip cookies are a favorite of mine.
thank you much
DeleteSo glad to see this update on Larry's condition. Thankfully, he is in a place where he can get the therapy he needs. He is quite spoiled to having the best meals ever, so those hospital meals are going to be an issue, for sure. Please take care of yourself and get some rest.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary yes he is used to eating healthy foods but the hosp should do a better job for healing especially for a long stay there friends driving me in late this afternoon maybe I can find out more social worker hasn't gotten back to me yet sigh
DeleteSending hugs and prayers for Larry's health, hope it soon heals. How awful that the food is so bad. Hope you can get it altered somehow. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI am hoping so too-he needs foods that he will eat to heal going in to see him late this afternoon hugs
DeleteKathy, take care of your health, don't do crazy things as you are important to Larry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteyour welcome
DeleteOh Kathy why I didn't see your post before is beyond me. I am so very sorry for Larry's broken bones which is always a slow heal at our age. Sending prayers to you both. I have been in the position of a sick husband it is hard on you please take care of yourself as the nurses said to me If you get run down and sick you are of no use to him and his needs you must take care.
ReplyDeletesending prayers.
Cathy
thank you hugs
DeleteThat's good news and bad news. The food definitely sounds like bad news. But hopefully once he gets himself moving a bit he'll be home-closer to the 7 days than the 10. I wonder if you could bring him some food to eat. Take care of yourself too. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, sending healing prayers for a speedy recovery! Take care of you too my friend ❤️. Thinking of you and wishing all is well! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeletethank you so much Jo
DeleteWhat a terrible thing to have happen Kathy... My thoughts and prayers are with you.. I'm so very glad you have such wonderful neighbors. I remember driving 50 miles one way into traffic i was not comfortable driving in to see hubby in hospital every day after heart surgery.. I'm so glad you enjoyed your package! If you've never used them before you will need a clear acrylic block for them to stick to so you can stamp.. Hang in there Kathy .. be strong.. and i hope you can feel this Texas sized hug! deb
ReplyDeleteI Can hugs
DeleteOh, dear Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that your husband fell so hard and injured himself so badly! I'm thinking of you! It's good that he is being well cared for in the hospital. As for the food - maybe it's not so inedible every day... it can't be that they only serve horrible food to sick people, can it? In any case, I'll give you a big hug and send the warmest wishes for healing by "airmail"!
All the best from Austria

Am behind on my blog reading and so sorry to hear about your hubby falling. I will say some prayers for a fast recovery. Well I hate hospital food to begin with, so no opinion for me on this. Maybe you can bring in some food though. Janice
ReplyDeletegood morning, no worries I am way behind and not posting or reading much riight now. I was able to talk with the dietician a few days ago and that's better, but there are several other concerns-hoping to talk with the doctor in charge
DeletePraying that your husband is getting the best care and will be healing in every way possible. It's so sad about the food at a time when he needs nourishment to help heal. All my best to you.
ReplyDeleteI agree good nutrition is so important for healing thank you for the prayers
DeleteI hope all is going well. Y'all are in my prayers.
ReplyDeletethank you for the prayers
DeleteKeeping you and Larry in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteMy good wishes.
All the best Jan
thank you so much for your prayers
DeleteDear Kathy, I'm not a fan of strong painkillers either. But I don't know if I would be so brave if the pain was very severe. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the pain will subside soon!
ReplyDeleteHugs and all the best, Traude
PS: Thanks for publishing the comment!
Not sure where I have been all this time, but I have obviously missed a LOT. I'm so sorry about Larry. I hope he improves as he stays at that hospital. I hope the food situation is addressed, too. Could he be on what is called a "bland" diet?
ReplyDeletea week ago last friday I got him out of that horrible hosp where they were not helping him in home rehab starts this week no the food was just horrible-frozen stuff reheated we don't eat meals like that
DeleteI am so sorry to hear this news about your husband. I hope things improve. - Anne (Cornucopia)
