DR TCB, so nice to see you posting just like you always have.
Thanks everyone, I am going to try and post on a more regular basis. I am tired and I am sore, but I am feeling beter all the time. Let me assure you that if I had stayed at that Care Center, I would not have gotten better with time.
The worst part about the place was the noise. At any time, day or night, there were three men who never stopped screaming, swearing, begging, jabbering, pleading, etc. One of the three was, I believe, a stroke victim. He had created his own language which he shouted 24-hours a day. There was always, at least, three or four Nurses Call Buttons ringing and never answered. One bell, my first night, rang for twelve straight hours. If I had been able to sleep, it might have been bearable, but since I was sleepin on a slab of concrete, that didn't happen. Once I told them on Thursday morning that I was leaving, they brought out the strong-arm troops.
There was a whole bunch of crap, but basically I wanted out. I have my first surgery follow-up appointment on the 26th, the office has assured me that I will be given all the tools I need at that time for my rehab.
