It's day 46 for me for my current stay at Humber River Hospital. I'm still looking for a friend to chat with here, I'm on the 10th floor currently.

I find it very lonely here... So if anyone is here and wants to meet up, just let me know!

I'm sorry to hear you have been in there that long :(. I would visit if I lived closer. What is going on can I ask?  That's a long time to be in a hospital!  Sending positive vibes your way.

Hey Monica, 

I'm in the hospital because of severe malnourishment and dehydration, along with having an ulcer in my stomach and a stricture. Surgery is an option to pursue, but I need to gain a lot more weight before I could be medically cleared as being strong enough to survive surgery. So I've been getting my full days worth of vitamins, nutrients, etc through a PICC line. I'm finally strong enough to walk again, I came into the hospital in a wheelchair, unable to walk more than just a few steps.

Damn I am so sorry to hear that you are having all of these challenges. Can you go to the bariatric floor and visit with people who have had surgery. I'm sure you are lonely and bored as hell. I hope you are able to put more weight on and get strong. I wish I lived closer I would come hang out. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. All the best!

Thank you! I haven't had any luck yet finding a friend, but I'm used to it :)

Hi Keri,  sending you lots of healing energy.  I've seen a couple of your posts but unfortunately I don't live in the area.  I hope you find someone in the hospital to connect with.  Maybe reach out to the nurses to see if there is anyone there, even an elderly patient that is in need of a friend.   Good luck with everything

Thank you! I hope I find someone too, I do have the nurses and social workers to talk to, but they are so busy during the day that it just seems like a burden to keep them away from their other patients. The elderly patient idea sounds like a good one, I'll ask them about that.
