I'm going home in an hour. I'll need help getting to and from every place I need to go. I will not have a nurse. This will likely do more harm than good, and if I end up back here due to a fall? Sigh.

I'm on a waiting list that's 4 months long. A month longer than my entire convalescence is supposed to be.
Wow. The US sucks on the medical front super hard. But on occasion where you like we have some local community support. So services that help shuttle people in medical need to places where they need to go and shop safely. Was hoping maybe you could find a couple local things.

It isn't the getting to and from places outside of the house that's the problem. I have a social worker for that. It's that I can't get to the bathroom or make food for myself or dress myself because my BP plummets when I stand up and am too weak to walk without help.

My husband has no time off to take because he just started a new job on March 1st..My son goes to school, so there is 7 hours a day where I am going to be completely alone.

That is so frustrating you have no friend or neighbor who could help? Depending on your cell phone there are apps that allow you to set-up a distress message that you can hit or will go off if you don't check in. I know this is a crap solution but better than 7 hours distressed

That's why I have been in a panic. I am stable health-wize, but I cannot care for myself.

Yes, I would be in a panic too. Are they giving you anything to track your blood pressure so you can see where that's at? That and they should be giving you a walker, one regular, one with wheels if you are supposed to get up. But no clue how your place is setup for this.
