A lot has changed since I last wrote. In late August I got word that a long term care facility in Oklahoma City decided to accept me as a resident. I moved in last Saturday in August. Been here for almost two weeks now.

It is a large facility with several wings and over 300 beds. Even though I still can’t walk, I get out of my chair once a day with a lift for cleanings and stretching. I have lost 10 pounds in the two weeks I have been here. The food is excellent. The staff is friendly. I have already made a few friends on the staff. I don’t need as much for pain pills anymore. I’m getting to where some of the doses on my blood pressure meds have been cut. More often than not I have low blood pressure.

Breakfasts are usually my favorite meal. Lots of pancakes and sausage. Lots of eggs. Occasional grits and oatmeal. This place seems to like to serve more Italian meals than I expected.

I like it here. Far more laid back than the place I was in back in Nebraska. I get medications twice a day. I have a room to myself in a quiet part of the facility.
