I just got my release date!

I've been in rehab for a broken leg for over three months. The facility I'm in is decent, but I've been feeling like a prisoner. I get out of here on the 21st. My cat, my friends and my coffee await me, not to mention my recliner. I want to sit in the sun! Thanks to the people who had to read about my whining, but it really helped me to be able to communicate with you.

After I left the hospital for West Nile virus, they sent me to a rehab hospital. I lasted about 2 days and 2 nights there. It was not conducive to my healing at all. Going home never felt so good.
Congratulations for sticking it out.
Ready, set, go 🏁💥🏠

This is wonderful news, zanana1! I'm so happy for you. Only 11 more days. Let the countdown begin.....

Three months is such a long time. I'm glad it's almost over.

DU will help lift you up - AND PERK you up!

One thing I’ve discovered through the years here, DU is always here. To keep you company and encourage you, any time of day OR night.

I believe it may have been Skittles who once said DU is “always here”.

it will be SO great to be home. I know. I did 2 and a half months away last year (coming up on the anniversary of my "disappearance" on the 26th) and I had the same feelings. good people helping me, but just wanted to be home.
