When I arrived I was in bad shape. I was diagnosed with COVID. I have been in the hospital for 52 days total so far. The therapist here are nice, knowledgeable, and helping me feel comfortable about going home. I was on a ventilator and could not walk, talk, anything. Since being taken off the vent I have slowly regained functions. My goal was to relearn to talk and walk. I graduated from Speech Therapy last Monday but when I came I couldn’t form words. I could not walk and a week ago I took my first step, then 3 steps, then 7 steps, then 20 steps and then 30 steps with the bars all within a 10 day period. My therapist said I am overachieving because I also stood for 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Not only have the therapist helped me but the Nursing staff are more than willing to do or get anything I need. Everyone here is nice and respectful of my needs. It is a very clean facility. The food is outstanding considering it is hospital food. It was the best chicken noodle soup that I had ever eaten and the food just kept getting better and better day after day. The doctors have been very caring and informative and I see them everyday. This has been the worst experience of my life having COVID, but it has been a very long road, and I am very blessed and glad to be alive. I have a long way to go to get back to a fraction of what I once was, but God has a greater purpose awaiting me after this journey.
