The usual rehab madness – part 2

Helmut is not coming tonight either, which is not exactly conducive to the well-being of the patient in the neighbouring room. Helmut went home 3 hours ago. I wonder if people here know Melperon? And also otherwise it was very restless today. Mr. W. called for help for 2 hours, which didn’t exactly bring him more sympathy among his fellow patients, although he ran so well together across the corridor at the same time (no irony). Doris complains of homesickness. Uschi has the enough of her fellow patient. The mood of the two can be raised massively by a portion of (home-cooked) carrots among each other.

Today I walked barefoot across the hall with Mrs. Sch. and was glad that nurse Olga was still on vacation, she doesn’t like it when you walk barefoot. From the hours with Mrs. Sch. I profit enormously. Usually the rest of the day I have hardly any complaints and my gait feels better.

Meanwhile I am here in the 6th week and have a new routine including time management. I am still dawdling endless but I do not set myself any more appointments before 9am. Routine is important for me, it does me good. I don’t mean that I can’t do anything spontaneously anymore. But in the morning I simply get better into the day.

What else do I benefit from here?

– Loop therapy, the so-called Redcords
– Water therapy/water gymnastics
– physiotherapy
– ear acupuncture
– art therapy (OT)
– speech therapy

Irritatingly wise I benefit also from the building services. ? The television in my room simply went out and no longer on, on a day where the U 17 of the “Effzeh” played for the German championship against the “BVB”. The rest of the game I had to watch on” Borussen TV” (or whatever it’s called).

The next morning the house technician came alone (I’m not used to that), took the quality “Changchong” TV with him (no kidding) and came 15 minutes later with a “CHiQ HD” device!

We are allowed to do rehab once a year and M. Parkinson complex therapy twice a year!
