  • Spinal Injury Level / Relationship:Friend of C5/C6 Complete

Posted 12 November 2008 - 06:20 AM

My friend is being released from rehab in two weeks. It is something he has been wanting since he was injured but now he is nervous, even after a home visit to assess what he would need. He's worried about what strain he'll have on his wife and his son's behaviour. It has been awhile, I have been busy and my friend has been working hard but I just felt like I wanted to update you all the news. :blushing02:

Yeah, it's real scary leaving the safe routine of the hospital or rehab unit and going home. It's going to be busy and a bit chaotic till the new routines run smoothly cos there's so much new stuff to learn in a new environment. But it can be easier when you've got good mates calling in to say hi and who'll understand that some days are rough and others good before things will settle down.
