What Do You Do When You Have No One
Another Hospitalization
Return trip, this time my husband called 911 himself, and decided to go to the hospital via of ambulance himself.
He said he choked on a pill, and he blamed it on me. That was part of the disease, he was choking last time, and had trouble swallowing. However, I didn’t see how it was my fault.
He called 911, and decided to go to the hospital, and it was a good thing he did. I told the nurse practitioner along with the muscle disease, he had a terrible cough, and she decided to do a chest x-ray on him as well.
She called me back, and said, “ Good thing you said something, he has pneumonia.”
This was Sunday night about 7 pm, and last night, he was going to leave the hospital without medical consent.
Didn’t Qualify For Rehab
I didn’t know why and the social workers didn’t know why, he didn’t qualify to go to rehabilitation.
I found out that my husband could do, more than he led me to believe he could do.
In the hospital, they did tests on him, for physical therapy, and occupational therapy, and he aced all the tests. He could do more than he ever led me to believe he could do at home.
