Glad you found a good facility but it really is about time to get home. I got stuck in rehab for 14 months and I got too dependent on them doing most everything for me. Now is the time to start planning for getting home. You will want to pick up right where you left off but it does not work that way, it is a transition peroid. If you live in a multistory residence you might be limited to one floor at first. You have to get food in and clean up. A lot of people have aids/personal assistants for the first few weeks. Social workers are good for that they know how to work with the bureaucracy. Hopefully your facility has a good transition team.

I know I have to go home, but I’m scared. I been sister free for a month, I Sooo Love it, she gives me anxiety too. I do want to go home, but my apartment gives me alot of bad luck, tooooooo much sun can make me sick to my stomach, daily anxiety, have trouble breathing & more bad things. I wish I could go to a new apartment with a flat porch, I have two steps, my door frame is little high for me. I still need to learn to walk with a walker, I been walking with the parallel bars, I can finished in 60 seconds.
