HeeHee everything Tara said :)

Seriously, get the rest now while you can...hopefully soon you'll be back home and feeling great :)

[rach3975]

So glad to hear that you're recovering, but I hope you're back home soon! The nursing homes I've visited people in were definitely not places I'd send anyone young to recover. What was that insurance company thinking? Don't worry about thanking people or anything else, just get well and escape!

[SmallMoments]

No wifi gives you more time to play bingo, though.

Praying for a quick(er) recovery!

[lauren grier]

Bet you're the queen of rehab! :cool: I'm soooo glad you're on the road to recovery.:wub:

lol my roomate is the queen round here.. almost 70, youngin here.
i hide in my room mostly. im not allowed to walk unsupervised (i use a walker currently. hot. we're working on getting me on a cane in PT though) anyway..im not allowed to wander... unless someone is with me.. so yeh. i dont do much. when ian is here we wander.. but i get tired quickly anyway.

[Angie4b1g]

I'm a horrible human being, I laughed when I read "walker". Can you at least bling it up? lol

[Nettio]

No wifi gives you more time to play bingo, though.

LOL, that's what I was thinking. :p

Hope you get better soon La!

[lauren grier]

I'm a horrible human being, I laughed when I read "walker". Can you at least bling it up? lol

its the most dreadul thing ever. i was refusing to use it @ the hospital buit imnot getting away with that here. i may or may not fling it when im out of sight.. in the elevator.. or bathroom or my roomate isnt around :p

[Julie Billingsley]

I'm a horrible human being, I laughed when I read "walker". Can you at least bling it up? lol

new kit by La: Pimp My Walker :p

[Joana1n]

Oh La! So glad you're on the road to recovery and I'm praying that you're out of there super-fast.

[Angie4b1g]

its the most dreadul thing ever. i was refusing to use it @ the hospital buit imnot getting away with that here. i may or may not fling it when im out of sight.. in the elevator.. or bathroom or my roomate isnt around :p

Ok picturing you flinging it is 10x even more funny. Don't lose your dentures while you're raging.

[CA Dreamer]

Good Luck, La. How crazy to put you in that place! I hope you heal quickly and can get out of there. Maybe it is supposed to motivate you to recover so you won't have to stay long :p

[Jengerbread88]

Want us to come spring ya'?

Kidding-- you need to stay there and get all better... but just know we're anxiously awaiting your return. HUGS!!!!

[brooke22]

Glad to hear your on the road to recovery La.
Maybe you can have wheelchair races with the old folk.

Hope your out of there soon.

[Sue Setiadji]

Just get better you!
Cant believe the lengths you'll go to for a good story!
I think you just set this gig up with your insurance dudes to party up with the oldies.

Id get your camera out La it might take a while to find a crowd united that makes you look like you sipped of the tree of life.
We all miss you enormously!

[Joy2Scrapbook]

Hope your recovery goes quick so you can escape soon! Hugs!

[mrshobbes]

LOL, glad to hear you are on the mend!!! Keep plotting your escape!

Maybe you could jazz up the spirits of them old folks with your sunshiney self :)

[Priscilla]

I also want to see a Pimp My Walker kit. :thumbup: Rock on.

Big hugs, La! Just keep thinking--this will all soon be behind you, this will all soon behind you. {hugs}

[Buggie185]

I see well wishes for you all over digi-land. Lots of people are cheering on your recovery and care about you. Take care and I hope you will be home soon! Hugs!

[Megan Turnidge]

Get better, chickie!!!!

[jorgies5]

So glad to hear an update. Just look out for the horny old men...my sister (who used to work at a nursing home) has quite the stories to tell.

[nietis]

Missed you, La! I hope you recover quickly, get as much rest as you can :) I'll be praying for you to be able to go home quickly! :) *hugs*

[nikkiARNGwife]

Get well soon La!!

[ZaCola3]

What a wonderful start to my day! I missed this yesterday!
I hate that you are somewhere miserable but am so happy that you are on the road to recovery...
We love you La and miss you like mad!:wub::wub::wub:

[DeepGirl]

Glad to read your post, La!
MISS YOU!

[Andrea G]

I'm sorry you're stuck with the old geezers, sweetie. I do believe the rehab center is considered an upgrade from the hospital (not sure if it feels like one or not) - whatever it takes to get well, right?

If it makes you feel better, you're not the only youngie using a walker right now, my 13 yr old son is using one while he recovers from surgery - he's so sweet - he will walk with his bum way out (since his knees hurt and he doesnt want to straighten them) and we nicely remind him he looks like he's 80 and he straightens up. It gets better, he's about to ditch the walker- you'll be there soon too, sweetie.

And, I have to say, if you made a "Pimp My Walker" kit, I'd buy it. ;) haha!

Hang in there sweetie. Good luck on your escape plan!

[kim21673]

Oohhhh, I think you totally need to get a picture of you with the gang there!!

Hang in there and get better soon so you can be home where you belong! We are all praying for a fast recovery!!

[carrie1977]

Sending you quick recovery vibes so you can get the heck out of there! Get better soooooon!!

[charmedeebob]

glad you are on the road to recovery La! make sure you have a walker race or two with the oldies for me :)

[maaike3773]

You might be bored there, but I am shure the oldies are soo soo happy to have you around!!
I hope you are well enough soon to escape that place! But get better and stronger first!!!! xxx

[neenee]

Been reading most of your tweets and keeping up La. Just wanted to say that I love you and I continue to think of you and pray for you everyday! XO

[lauren grier]

i left for almost an hour today.. no one noticed :p i TRIED to ask /sign out but there was no one around :p i worry for the safety of the actual old people here :p

ian made me come back. i woulda stayed gone :p

[*Celeste*]

you are bad!!! i hope you had a starbucks at least!

[Lauramarie]

Sounds like your making great progress and ready to go home!

[heathergw]

LOL, you're so bad!!! Glad you were able to escape for a little bit!

[yari]

Haha! Girly, get better soon and stay put so that you can get home sooner (that's unless you run away and no one notices which is probably what you've tried to do)!

[chloe]

Take care and come back soon, we miss you too! <3

[scrapmonkey]

Hopefully you will get some inspirations out of the situation. I'm sure some of those old folks have some great stories. Nonetheless, I hope you make a speedy recovery and get more independence soon.

[Ebony]

:) This thread is hilarious in terms of mental images. Glad you're getting there La... Make sure to get a photo or 10!

[StephanieLH]

So glad to see this update. I think of you often Lauren and hope you are well.

It must be so strange to know so many people care for you and you have never "met" them. But it must also be just awesome (in the real, not overly used sense of the word) to know how many lives you touch.

Hugs and get well soon.

Stephanie (a fan and virtual friend):wub:

[kendallt]

Good to hear from you, girl! Hang in there and just keep getting better. One day at a time. :)

[adrianka]

Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humour, La. This thread is hilarious. Hope you can escape from that place for good ASAP.
