My friend who fell has been in a nursing home and it's horrible. He's physically doing better than he was before the accident but (as he says) "he's become his environment." I was so upset cause he waits up to 30 minutes to go to the bathroom and sometimes just can't wait and goes in his pants. His pain pills take an extra 30 minutes to arrive and he's told to stay in a wheelchair, which he does not need. I want him to come home with me so he could recover mentally as well as physically. I just told his mother who was horrified. She insists I'm not capable of handling the job becasue I am in a wheelchair. That's precisely why I'm advocating so strongly that he leaves there.
