Muriel, your reply was exactly what I needed to hear, especially just answering his questions as they come up but not going into depth he has not asked for. We just started home health and I was a bit disappointed that they don’t seem to be on the same level we were at at inpatient rehab, I am so glad you mentioned walking, too. We do have an appointment with Post ICU Recovery Clinic on the 23 and it is supposed to include physical rehab, nutrition and emotional help for myself as well as my husband. Yesterday was a down day and it’s hard not to be disenhearted but I just had to remember how blessed I am and give thanks for my gifts I am being given. You all are so special to take your time to ease our way. Than you

@polly08 I am so glad that you have found this group and have connected with @muriel66 and @rosemarya. They have offered amazing guidance and support to you. It is important for you to know that what both you and your husband are experiencing is so very normal after critical illness and that you are not alone in recovery. I am also so happy to hear that you are meeting the Vanderbilt team in the Recovery Clinic. I have the great pleasure of working with this passionate and talented group of people on various projects and know that you will be seen, heard and very well cared for!
