I broke my leg on Jan.7
I've been in rehab since then. The rehab facility is in a nursing home. I've been here for three months and I think I'm losing my mind. Nobody to talk to, no privacy and no independence. Thankfully, I should be back home in about a month.
Has anybody else here served a stint in a nursing home?

Never done the rehab stint but several friends and acquaintances have. At least you know you can leave around a certain date!

(6,483 posts)I wouldn't call it loneliness, exactly. It's just a feeling of being cut off from the outside world. I have a sister who visits and a good friend who stops by. She's looking after my cat. I really miss the little monster. I keep buying him toys from Amazon because I don't want him to be bored. I can't wait to be annoyed by him again.
