...outpatient? Alright I spoze. They would not let me leave until I got up and walked a fifty or so feet (on a walker).
...there is another danger to coming home too soon and that is the danger of falling because you have to get up sometimes for something and mz micro might not be up to the task. Ya should have somebody husky come stay with ya a couple of days. Family member if ya have one or a physical therapist if your insurance covers it. The big issue for you is going to be going to the bathroom.
...in the bathroom, sit for everything except brushing ya teefs. Your aim will be terrible there for a couple of days and ya don't want mz micro to be wiping up whiz when she could be doing something useful like practicing her fetching skills.
...sitting on the toilet will be easier if ya has one of them taller toilets they put in houses today. The shorter ones ya is practically squatting and ya hip won't take it. Them things they sell in the apothecary that sit up higher are impractical as when ya whiz it goes all over the floor. Same thing for them stools that sit over the toilet.
These are helpful
...these are helpful too but if ya puts one on a tile wall ya might just pull the tile off the wall.
...a lot of pain can cause one to lose their normal sunny dispositions. Even as even tempered as I am (ha! says mz ribit) I have a slight tendency to talk to everyone as if I were their drill instructor and they were new recruits on their first day.
...one of these can be connvenient for summoning the mz if ya need help and she is not in the room with ya. Do not ring it while she is in the room with ya as ya might have to go to the hospital to have it removed from a spot that drowns the resonant tones of a cowbell.
...go easy on the paid meds as they will give you consriptation and the last thing you want is to be trying to pass a brick.
...another piece of distasteful information is that you will probably not be able to reach your arse for the required paperwork. It is a bit cold for the mz to take ya out in the yard and hose ya off so it's gonna be her responsibility. Try not to smile when ya hands her the roll of Toilet Paper.
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
