They used to ask grandma her name and credentials every time too. It's multi purpose. Verifies your memory and mental state and confirms they have the right pills for you.

Right, i had a mental exam today passed with 100%. Had to think about the Camel for a bit. Started as a giraffe but then i said wait. Its when they get new staff as they move around wards daily then your back to square one.

While finally the good news is in. Im moving over to the glenrose tomorrow morning for my much needed rehab this is more than exciting, brian you better hurry up with my sled and Mother Nature start dumping in Valemount please.
Your enthusiasm is admirable Ron, glad they are getting you across the road, and hopefully they will start to allow you some social interaction as well.

Its more the constant pure rehabilitation im after, not real fun sitting here looking like a zombie. I had some swallow tests today ate a full container of butterscotch pudding no issues.

Glad things are going well. Here's to a quick recovery.

Can i ask what happened? Was it a stroke? Totally understand if you want to keep it private. Just curious. You seem like a pretty young healthy guy for all this stuff to be happening

Yes stroke affected the back left side of brain. Affected my ability to balance myself, motor controls of left leg and down, my ability to swallow, and some more denser numbness on right side. Im recovering very fast due to my age and stubbornness. I am pushing myself quite hard. Tonight we packed my room then my mom left. I told the nurse im going for a shower, then did that, re-dressed and walked back to my room and sat down. Nurse appeared shocked, lol. Not sure why who knows maybe was on overdrive for too long at work as we been flat out for 6 months. Well i hired more people and they have started so im not leaving my house at 3 am and putting in 20 hr shifts for 3 weeks straight. I have to take an aspirin every day now and i should be good to go. And for the anti-vaxxers out there i did have the first two pyser covid shots and will not be having any more and currently there is no relation to all of this but im not going there or this thread will not be going there, please leave alone. Thanks all
