Hows the food? When I was in one it wasn't the greatest lots of bread and pasta. I started just eating meat and veges so I didn't gain to much weight.

Sorry to hear that, Dave. At least you have a line to the outside world. I once spent 8-1/2 mos in a N H shortly after my accident. Hope your stay is short!

Hang in there. Nursing homes are for people who are old or ill........NOT for those who are still full of life. Wish you the best of luck.

Hello Dave

dont worry things will get better. Keep your head up and concentrate on things to do to get outta there! also remember if you dont like it there and you need to be in a nursing home for a little while you can always tranfer to another one. otherwise just hang in there!
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Hey Dave, got your message on my space, start reading that book again! Keep your eyes on the positive and get out of there... life isn't all that bad unless you make it out to be! Smile!
