I just got word that one of the twelve beds available in the Monroe, North Carolina facility will be ready for me at16:00 today, and that I should be there for about twelve days while they set up my home care back in Berewick and get the right medicine for me. Again, we have to wean me from IV Dilaudid and ring up a matching dose of Oxycodone and Metheadone that is legal for home care.
Hopefully it will be close, and ideally there will be some pain left over for a catholic offering for friends, family, and a world in need of reparations for sins it habitually commits against the will of God our great Lady.
I will be posting various intentions needed here, should you want to psrticipate.
I will have Father Reid check over what I believe is a good formula to teach how to pray and offer intentions as I believe are correct, and should get us into life long habits should you wish to offer your prayers.
The Monroe facility has space for one family member or caregiver to stay overnight. There is a protected bird sanctuary, two large sun rooms a family dining area, chapple, labyrinth garden and both indoor and outdoor children's play area for younger visitors. The pamphlet does not explicity mention space for patient's dogs, but we should be able to acomoate our more sedate dogs like Styker, as a one dog at a time accomodation. It should be enough to try once at least.
he's my first choice to try.
The address is 700 West Rossevelt in Monroe, and should have two of our kids to hustle Stryker if need be, please bring a decent lead. I'm looking forward for this first stay and Styker seemed to have moped about the best and deserved it most.
I will be calling USAA tomorrow to get the ION online so that Kim or Mike will be ready to drive it ASAP when able. Oh yea, Kim's going to need to get some stick lessons soon!
Anyway, looking forward to it, just wishing it wasn't such a drive from Berewick. The experience will be good though.
So you'll be leaving CMC Pineville for Monroe? A small temporary step toward getting back home.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mike, sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I sm home now, set up with pain meds, nurses visits and all. Now, I just get to enjoy visitors as they come. The whole purpose was to get my pain meds in tune with the types of things I was allowed to receive while at home. The dilaudid given by intravenous injections can not be done at home, as there's significant risk it would be abused.
