That's the "possible rehab" part. They may want me staying in some place for a few

days outside of the hospital, possible I could stay with Carolyn again. Depends on

my recovery, apparently; I'm a tough old bird and hope I can just come home .......

Oh, and here's a proper weather forecast for you now that I'm home: it's 28 C (83 F) unbelievably unseasonal degrees now! As soon as I finish here and OFF, going to go sit on he porch with a martini.

Anyhow, home at last, thank God, out of these same clothes! Christopher set up the oxygen tank and tubing for me, so I can get around without any problems ... can get upstairs to bed, which was a worry. And can finally fix my own dinner!!

That sounds all go Eileen. Christopher is good isnt he, what a nice neighbour to have.

Glad your appointment went well, Eileen ..... 5 - 7 days recovery is pretty good!

I'm glad you have a good neighbour in Christopher, that was kind of him to set up your oxygen for you.

Good luck with the PET scan tomorrow.

Christopher is a great guy, s good friend as well as neighbor; he was with me thru the discharge, also drove me to the appt today, picking up my prescriptions and keeping track of all the appts. I am spoiled!!

I'm so glad all that went well for you Eileen.

Over this end, well, has been a bit of an Exciting end to the day. Think I could happily do without a repeat though!!!

Went to bed at soon after 10, when I got to sleep OK. Next thing am fully aware of the kitchen fire alarm is going off, then they both are, and I can't get them to turn off!

Rescue the wee one whose hiding under the radiator in my room, and put' her in box before heading outside - taking mobile with me, where I call fire dept, and explain that I can't turn my fire alarms off and think there must be a fire somewhere. (OK, and over an hour later, 20 mins since fire engines left, and the ambulance has just disappeared...)

I then went and hid in the car - after realising that the smoke had to be coming from my downstairs neighbours house. I don't know how she is - but she must have been in there cause as well as fire engines we had police and ambulance - and when fire engines turned up explained what was what.

In the end, they must have sorted whatever it was out, and then headed off - was told their boss might want to talk with me, but if he does it didn't happen then. I honestly don't know enough about it.

Still, once the engines left I concluded that it was safe for me to return to the house (where they'd kindly turned off the smoke alarms for me) and generally got settled - cup of tea and the like. And then came online!

So, very exciting end to the day. And am so thankful for smoke alarms.

OMG - what an end to the day! I do hope your neighbour was OK. Sensible of you to get out with Cloud and glad you were able to return to your flat. Think the emergency guys could have communicated better .... thankfully never been in that situation.

Bloody hell Squirrell sounds like unorganised chaos!! you dont sound like you were very informed about what was happening at the time though

dandysmom · 05-04-2011, 02:58 PM

Wow.what an ending to the day! Glad you and Cloud are OK and no damage to your flat; but hope your neighbor will be all right.
