Great news but I was wondering the same thing as Sins........And I agree on the short term facility. Much better for a few weeks.

Good Luck Sev.....it's about time you had some.

Hate to be practical but has anyone cleaned Sev's kitchen since the accident?I suspect that is not a mess he should be coming home to. Hope he goes to a emporary facility where he can get round the clock care. But I am still amazed that he is ready to leave the Burn Center at all.

Severn doesn't smoke at all. He can't drink alcohol or eat much carb/sugar anymore either. Don't you people remember any of this??????

I'm with Art, Sev.   It's good news that you're healing fast enough for them to kick you out of that nasty ol' hospital with the germs and all (and people waking you up every hour or so, e.g., to give you a sleeping pill), but rehab at home can be difficult, especially without 24-hour care available. If they can't let you recoup in a rehab center for a while (given the way our US "health care system" works), I do hope you have lots of people who can come by as needed to help you out with things at home - including the PT and OT people.

Does Maryland allow medical marijuana? And would that help anyway?

I hope our horrible puns are making you feel right at home in the meantime.

Besides, look at his record.

Stick him in a temporary "facility" and do it quickly, with facility. Right now he has all his faculties, or many of them, and a facile hand will help him keep what he has.

I'd say - and not only because my wife works in rehab - that he'd probably be better off in a transitional care facility for a week or two. Home health is generally there for only an hour or two a day, and my (unfortunate) experience with them is that many don't have a super-high level of technical skills. Burn care is hard.

That's great news! Not only does it mean they are happy with the way you are healing Sev (though you may not FEEL that good yet) it also means that you are away from all those sick people with their nasty bugs.

It also means you can heal at your own rate (probably faster) and not be woken up early if you don't want to be.

Lots of BIG HUGS

That IS amazing. Thanks, Emily. I hope he gets someone in whom he likes and trusts to take care of his wounds. The personality, rapport with, and skill of a home health aide or nurse can really make a difference in recovery, not just physical but otherwise, too.

A Golden Oldie for you -

Building the new hospital wing....

When a panel of doctors were asked to vote on adding a new wing to their hospital, the Allergists voted to scratch it and the Dermatologists preferred no rash moves.

The Gastro-enterologists had a Gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve, and the Obstetricians stated they were laboring under a miss-conception.

The Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted; the Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!", while the Pediatricians said, "Grow up!"

The Psychiatrists thought it was madness; the Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing, and the Radiologists could see right through it!

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow -but the Plastic Surgeon said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the End, the Proctologists left the decision up to some jackass who didn't give a crap.

.... Another day nearer health
Lots of good thoughts

The food, of course, could be a whole lot better, and their idea of low carb diabetic fare and mine differ greatly, but they are more concened with me getting lots of protein to help bring my body back to health.
