I
was
here
for
a
month
after
a
terrible
case
of
Covid
Pneumonia
which
left
me
incapacitated
from
January
to
June.
I
was
completely
bedridden
and
couldn't
do
so
much
as
hold
light
items.
This
is
my
story
from
late
June
to
August
3rd,
here
at
RIM.
The
experience
here
was
phenomenal.
I
was
on
the
4th
level
and
every
day
(besides
weekends)
I
was
out
in
the
gym
area
doing
90
minutes
of
Physical
and
Occupational
Therapy
with
a
mixture
of
Speech.
It
was
very
hard
at
first,
painful
even,
but
my
therapist
had
to
be
the
nicest
people
I
ever
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
during
my
time.
I'm
unsure
if
I
can
name
people,
so
I'll
leave
that
a
secret.
You
know
who
you
are
though.
I
was
constantly
at
my
breaking
point.
Tired
every
day
due
to
all
the
physical
output
required
for
me
since
I
essentially
lost
all
of
my
muscle
mass.
I
constantly
needed
a
nurse
or
PCA
to
tend
to
my
basic
bodily
needs.
I
can't
express
how
grateful
I
was
to
have
people
clean
me
constantly
(and
I
will
always
apologize
for
that).
Thank
goodness
I
could
feed
myself
at
least,
I
would've
felt
worst!
I'm
sure
many
other
patients
got
depressed,
I
sure
did.
It's
hard
being
in
that
position
and,
besides
the
grueling
therapies,
there's
nothing
to
do
but
contemplate
life
and
think
about
the
future
and
the
what
if's.
That's
fine,
but
you
gotta
remember,
you're
in
a
place
designed
to
get
your
mobility
back!
I'm
kind
of
kicking
myself
in
the
foot
for
being
so
depressed
at
first
because
my
progress
was
very
slow.
Very
VERY
slow.
I
too
had
those
thoughts
that
I
was
stuck
being
wheelchair
bound
and
mostly
bedridden.
Listen...
you
will
get
better.
Your
muscles
and
stretches
will
return.
As
of
this
day,
December
3rd
of
the
same
year,
I'm
finally
walking
again,
thanks
to
the
help
of
these
therapist
here.
But
I'm
getting
ahead
of
myself,
another
part
of
RIM
helped
me
improve
as
an
outpatient,
not
this
place
(though
it
definitely
got
me
started,
no
doubt!).
Food-wise...
goodness,
it
was
fantastic.
When
I
got
here,
I
was
cleared
to
have
a
full
diet
and
goodness
was
their
stuff
GOOD.
Special
shout
outs
to
this
one
food
service
lady
who
cut,
opened,
and
helped
set
me
up
every
single
time.
I
hope
you're
still
there,
you
were
the
best
and
I
bet
a
lot
of
patients
feel
the
same
way.
No
one
else
did
NEARLY
as
good
as
you
did.
Took
orders
well,
delivered
in
a
timely
fashion,
and
always
repeated
what
that
day's
food
was.
I
did
have
one
bad
thing
to
say,
but
I
wouldn't
drop
a
star
for
it.
My
caseworker...
did
little
for
me.
My
family
members
were
very
confused
about
what
to
do
and
the
caseworker
seemed
to
be
"on
vacation"
half
the
time.
In
fact,
get
this,
the
day
of
my
discharge...
they
didn't
get
me
a
transport...
Seriously?
I
had
a
PCA
with
me
on
the
1st
floor
when
this
happened.
They
were
absolutely
livid
that
my
caseworker
didn't
prepare
a
transport
for
me,
still
stuck
in
a
wheelchair
and
could
very
briefly
stand.
Very
unprofessional
and
just
a
kick
in
the
rear
for
my
entire
family
that
was
present.
Anyways,
this
is
getting
long.
Final
words,
just
want
to
say
RIM
did
what
they
had
to
do.
Thank
you
to
all
the
staff
and
therapists
that
attended
to
me.
I'll
never
forget
this
place.
Thank
you,
truly.
