00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.440
The idea with medical respit is you can

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:18.000
recover here under uh medical

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.640
supervision and also that gives you time

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.320
most importantly so that we can figure

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.720
out the long-term answer uh of some sort

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:26.960
of housing. teams, maybe begin just tell

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.880
us a little bit about how you got here

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:32.320
and how you even found this facility.

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.120
Well, my my foot actually started

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:39.040
bothering me a little bit and as as the

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:43.680
uh 3 days transpired after that, I was

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:45.920
in enough pain that I couldn't take

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.719
myself to the hospital. Once I arrived,

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.239
I found I found out that I had a huge

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:55.039
infection in my ankle. I couldn't walk

00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.280
on my foot. I just could not put any

00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.840
pressure whatsoever on my foot. And I'm

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.239
wondering in this rundown trailer that I

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.720
was sleeping in,

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:09.119
how how I was going to get around. Mhm.

00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:11.119
I knew that I'd be in trouble if I had

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:13.200
to go back there. I would I wouldn't

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.680
have made it. It would not It would have

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.240
been more than difficult.

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:20.240
I was once I was told about this place,

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:22.479
I thought that might be the place for me

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:24.799
to go.

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.560
Um, tell us a little about what happens

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.799
here. Uh, what what's kind of your day

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.520
look like? We have a a doctor and a

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:34.159
full-time nurse, Gail, here. She's been

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.360
wonderful in in helping me recover. And

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:39.840
our our medications are right there at

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.720
hand. Everything that we need. We're

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:46.159
taken to our hospital appointments, our

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.000
doctor's appointments. How has it been

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.320
here in terms of uh the uh the facility?

00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:54.399
What do you does it uh is it something

00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:56.399
that you know you were expecting

00:01:56.399 --> 00:01:59.439
something different or um what surprised

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:03.200
you about it? Well, the the the uh the

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:07.119
friendliness and the and the the want to

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:10.319
to help, you know, to help me recover

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.160
was

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:14.959
fantastic. This this not only helps me

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:18.319
give a get a hand up

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.920
um but I I can't imagine this this

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:25.280
happening anywhere else in my life. That

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.370
just wouldn't be possible.
