Home, Sweet Home

I am home now, thankfully! Even though I walked in to find a dead mouse in a trap and the place reeking, it is so good to be out of there. Before you ask, no I did not sign out AMA, they discharged me.

They are referring me for an echocardiogram as an out patient and are suggesting that my family doctor get me into psychotherapy. The shrinks told me that I have no psychiatric issues but could benefit from counselling because of all the health/mobility issues I have. But on my discharge summary, it says that they see signs of “borderline personality and obsessive compulsive disorder”. I have no idea what I said to them could indicate that. The only thing I can think of is that I told them I need advance notice for appointments, tests etc. Maybe they consider that obsessive compulsive but what did I say to indicate borderline personality disorder? I was FURIOUS when I read it.

The hospital's social worker had come to see me when I was first admitted and he referred me to Community Care. They called this aft. and are going to set me up w/ an OT regarding safety at home and a social worker to see what supports there are to help me with things (ie housework) around my home, since it has become hard with my health issues.

Anyways, even though I feel like crap, I am happy to be home! I have an appointment in the morning about my feet (a new wound was found yesterday by my nurse), but then I want to do some writing. I have missed it.
