Those places have rules that make no sense to me. I can't stand scented laundry products, not on me, not standing near somebody that stinks like a pile of dead flowers 3 days after a funeral mixed with a mad scientist chemical concoction. Nasty. People are stupid, they are conditioned to use scented everything. Mix it all up and all you get is an assault on the olfactory senses. I can all but see the stench fumes rising from "this smells good" people drenched in every smelly product they can find. Not to mention that cleaning products have degraded to chemical mixes that are pure toxins to sensitive people.

Maybe you can take an EMPTY suitcase and HIDE your dirty laundry in it. Visitors can then take it home. Put some bags in the empty suitcase to make removal of the offending garments easier.

Exactly!!! Clean DOES NOT SMELL! And an environment loaded with different "pretty smells" just stinks.

Okay, quick update. pre op appt went good yesterday.

Did find out that I won't know where they are going to send me afterwards, until the next day after the surgery

Sure, let's not enable anyone to plan, to let friends and family know where you will be for 3 weeks.

the ins companies do not want you to be making these plans, because they don't want to pay if they do not have to.

Oh, and if you make a "reservation" and in the end don't need it, they would have to pay for 3 weeks of a rehab room? I DON'T THINK SO!!

Of course, I will not be feeling like talking to anyone about that stuff, I will just want to not be feeling any pain at that point......

EXACTLY. Just had major surgery, in pain, loaded up a muddled brain with pain killers. GREAT time to make decisions and remember NOTHING of what they are telling you.

Insurance companies really irritate me. You can pay into them for years, then when you have a legitimate claim they try to weasel out of paying for what you were supposed to be insured for.

On the scented products - I noticed in a sales flyer for a grocery store that they make scented garbage bags. What???

We will be pulling for you Jan, that your surgery and post op rehab goes smoothly. ❤

Well yeah, so your garbage stinks like something else! Not a new thing.

SOME hospitals have a "short term" rehab/recovery area, then for extended you move to another facility. Geesh, there you are pretty much "out of it" and you wake up to "where am I". That is great for anxiety.

of "cow barn" smelling clothes sitting around for weeks.

Put one piece in a sealable plastic bag -- so you can get a "fix" when you want to be bad during home recovery.

Hey y’all I just heard from farmerjan and told her that I would post it to her
Journal.

Surgery went well. Did replacement no fusion so recovery will be shorter. Walking boot in 2 weeks if healed & stitches out. Rehab on monday for 2 weeks then post op appt. Been up a couple of times hopping on right leg. Block still got it numb but getting feeling slowly. Then i might not be as happy. But the no feeling is weird. Thank u to every one

No fusion

Thanks Bay and give her my best.

 

[Mini Horses]

Thrilled to hear what appears to be good news.
Is her rehab there at same hospital?

She's been waiting so long for this and I know she will do as they say. It will hurt for a while, then gotta be better than what she's been dealing with for a long time.

Your turn is coming, Bay!!

 

[Baymule]

She will go to another facility for rehab, that is my understanding.
