Being in the rehab unIt also helps knowing that I am in the temporary care unit and should be going home before too long. I will certainly have more sympathy and understanding for people in long-term care from now on. A sad situation happened this week. We had gotten to know a local couple: the husband had a stroke and was having memory problems as well as mobility problems. His wife, son and daughter-in-law visited regularly. They also have a special needs daughter who had lived with them but is now in a group home doing well. One day he announced his wife was also in the hospital with gall stones. The next thing we learned was she had surgery with complications and she passed away. Now the family is trying to rebound.
