Yesterday my BFF called. If it weren't for caller ID I won't have know. My friend was in so much pain I couldn't recognize the voice. The pain was so bad it made the pick higher. Because of the pain was making it hard for my friend to speak. When I'd call the phone would ring. Then send me to voicemail. Later in the evening around 7:30 pm PDT. I finally got through and we spoke. There was surgery scheduled for 8 pm PDT. I want to go by and visit but again my call goes to voicemail.
Plus. Last Friday my Uncle went in for a knee replacement. They wanted him to walk 25 feet the day after surgery. The second day 50 feet. Then 100 feet on the third day. On the second day he managed to take three steps forward. Then three steps back. Because the recovery wasn't going to plan. They moved him to a nursing care facility. I am told that it is a good place.
Both of the above concerns me deeply. When you're over 65 and admitted to a hospital for surgery. The percentages tend to come down on getting out. So my Uncle is over 70 but he is health and strong. A little over weight. My friend is over 50. My friend in the hospital concern me more then my Uncle. Because of past problems.
