Why are you in an old folks home? Why would you have been in an old folks home 5 years ago? Your profile page says you're 50.

Well officially my discharge date is January 4th 2 weeks from tomarrow.!I'm so ready to go home it's unbelievable.
Medicare only pays for me to stay here 100 days.I still habe my wound vac on and a 6 inch wound.My sister and Doctor wanted to recommend to Medicaid they take over and pay till I get completely well.
But this centers directors and physical therapy told me I'm well enough now that I should be able to go home and get home health nurse to take care of my wound.
I also have a wound care Dr.
I'm thrilled and counting down the days.
FYI my weight is down to 258 originally from 342 last year.

Well 6 months ago or 5 months ago I had the surgery. Hernias gone which is good. I started out at 342 in the beginning lost down to 290 to get the surgery. I gained up to 313 before the surgery. I had cosmetic surgery in the hernia surgery as well and lost down to 301 again.
When I went to get the surgery got an infection from it. Then got a big wound because I knocked out my blood drains out. I still have the wound but its down to 4 inches by 0.8 which is good considering it started out with 13 by 5 inches so. Getting to taken care of at home have a home health aid and wound care nurse that comes to see me and I go to a wound care dr. once a week.
But anyways while in the hospital then rehab then old folks home recovering from all that I was on a lot of morphine taking it through my veins which caused me a lot of nausea along with strong antibiotics which also caused me a lot of nausea tot he point that a lot of my food just came back up.
I lost all the way down to 252 I was so happy.
But my appetite came back in the old folks home got taken off of antibiotics except oral ones and switched to oral morphine which gets me a little high not as much as the other but doesn't make me nauseated. I gained all the way back to 270 then lost weight went down to 263 when I got home.
10 days ago started getting big rash all over my but and legs in part from sitting around laying down a lot on the old folks home but sores yuck. They were very painful. I use powder and cream on it its finally getting somewhat better enough that I'm staying awake in the daytime doing stuff. I still have the rash hurts a little bit but not as much.
I unfortunatelty in the past 10 days due to pain put on 12 horrid pounds back up to 275. So I'm getting back on my diet as of today but not as strict at first. IM working my way back to strict adherence. What I mean is I went over board on a night I was going to binge without going to a pizza place and I got stuff from amazon rime instead which is cheaper then fastfood.
Why all these people say big people who are poor get big because fastfood is so cheap I don't know why. But anyways I spent over 100 well about 120 at amazon on food but went crazy on the junk food and someof it is lite lowfat food but all of it is stuff I can put in the microwave easily. But its enough to last abut 10 days whoosh it is certainly less expensive.
I can by a steak burrito chips and queso for about 12 bucks and coke and desert for about 5 or 6 bucks more its like about 17 bucks for a one night binge while I usually pay 35 to 40 bucks at a pizza place.
ANyways some of it is high fat white carb stuff and some of it is low fat white carb junk I do have lean pockets and couple of lean cuisines and amy's lite bean and cheese burrito but most of its not. But sense most of it is in individual containers like tv dinners I can count calories easily and still keep it down to 1200 calories for the next week anyways which will be a start and some of it will be low fat so that's a start.
I will either lose 1 to 3 pounds or maybe maintain but if I can get it to just stop gaining for now that would be good but IL probably drop 1 or 2 pounds. It is a good change for now.
In the end 275 is 67 pounds liter then what I started out at a year and a half ago though. I do walk around better right now then I was back then and it is nice not having the hernia to deal with.
So even with the 12 pound weight gain I'm not real unhappy still have some good weightloss.
