The process has begun. Discussions have begun to get the steps moving forward to get away from Ephrata Manor and be back on my own at home. I am not sure that the powers-that-be are quite ready to have me out of here before Christmas, but I have news for them. I am aiming for Thursday, with a drop-dead day of Friday.
The idea of coming here was that I was not quite ready to live on my own directly from the hospital. I would have needed someone to stay at the house for several days and there was just not anyone around who could come and live with me and provide me with assistance getting in and out of bed, chairs and toilets. So I came here, to Ephrata Manor, to become better able to take care of myself. I am now officially independent here in the nursing home. I can walk the halls, go to the bathroom alone, bathe myself from my little tub, eat what I want.... independent! So, I figure I can be independent at home just as easily as here.
Besides, I am ready to be in my own bed, no roommate who reads all night long with lights on. I do not want to hear cat fights in the hallway between women who have differing opinions. I do not want to hear wailing of a resident who wants to be home and cannot understand the dramatic health change that brought him hear.
I am ready to be at home.
So I will give then a chance to go through the motions and paperwork. But come Friday, I may be calling on some of my more adventurous friends to come and pack my up and take me home. Brian flies in from Minneapolis on the 21st and I plan to be home to spend time with him!!!
So friends... be ready to break me out of jail!!!
