Four week marker
When we first arrived here at the hospital, we met some patients that were on thier last leg of their trip that were doing a lot of complaining, in a round about way expressing that they were ready to be home. I was like, wow, why are they complaining? Don’t they realize it’s going to be different, it’s a different culture. They should just get over it and realize the blessing they’ve been given and adjust! Well today I started in on the complaining. Don’t get me wrong I count my blessings, I think I just got up on the wrong side of the bed! It’s just funny because the patients said bye the fourth week, your just ready to be done. I haven’t looked on the calander, but today felt like the fourth week has begun.
Thats enough negative! I really do like it here. I know that it could be much worse. Plus the handicapped van got here today. I haven’t been able to get a great look at it, but the color is really pretty. It’s like a baby blue color:) Wendy is being so great! She has put together a trip to Wushan Square for tomorrow for me and two other patients in the van. It should be very fun. From what I have gathered, the van will be used for airport transfers. Personally if I used a manual chair I would feel safer sitting in a regular seat, but like I said I haven’t been able to look inside, So I don’t know if there are tie down straps or not. Oh-well the important thing is all types of power chairs are able to be transfered to this hospital. Yeah!
Ooh- tip for coming here, bring a vegetable peeler. And be very specific about your bathroom/shower chair needs.
