What an ordeal! My husband Dave and I marvel, since my stay of 100 days was plenty for me!! I was sedated for over two weeks and I understand learning to move again, so very hard. I used to joke with my nurses and staff that I was a T-Rex since it was a week before I finally moved my arms, but only at the elbows.😄 Anyway YOU are a miracle! I find walking so very difficult, even in Cardiac Rehab I did my exercise sitting. I am on Oxygen 24/7 so getting around takes me a someone else to drag my bottle, until I'm stronger. My friend has committed to walking me twice a week, so that's a huge help. I never thought I'd be the one asking for so much help, it's humbling. All of your list is SO TRUE. I often would get a whiff of those eggs and weep with sorrow. I often went to sleep hungry, but I tried to remember, if my Dad ate in the Navy, on a Sub, in the 40's-60's then I can shovel down this stuff☄️😄It helped. Best Regards Robyn, thanks for your post! 💕🌿
