The idea with medical respit is you can
recover here under uh medical
supervision and also that gives you time
most importantly so that we can figure
out the long-term answer uh of some sort
of housing. teams, maybe begin just tell
us a little bit about how you got here
and how you even found this facility.
Well, my my foot actually started
bothering me a little bit and as as the
uh 3 days transpired after that, I was
in enough pain that I couldn't take
myself to the hospital. Once I arrived,
I found I found out that I had a huge
infection in my ankle. I couldn't walk
on my foot. I just could not put any
pressure whatsoever on my foot. And I'm
wondering in this rundown trailer that I
was sleeping in,
how how I was going to get around. Mhm.
I knew that I'd be in trouble if I had
to go back there. I would I wouldn't
have made it. It would not It would have
been more than difficult.
I was once I was told about this place,
I thought that might be the place for me
to go.
Um, tell us a little about what happens
here. Uh, what what's kind of your day
look like? We have a a doctor and a
full-time nurse, Gail, here. She's been
wonderful in in helping me recover. And
our our medications are right there at
hand. Everything that we need. We're
taken to our hospital appointments, our
doctor's appointments. How has it been
here in terms of uh the uh the facility?
What do you does it uh is it something
that you know you were expecting
something different or um what surprised
you about it? Well, the the the uh the
friendliness and the and the the want to
to help, you know, to help me recover
was
fantastic. This this not only helps me
give a get a hand up
um but I I can't imagine this this
happening anywhere else in my life. That
just wouldn't be possible.
