My daily routine
When I got the VA hospital, I fell into a daily routine that didn't change for some time. After getting up in the morning, I had breakfast, and then relaxed for a while, after that a nurse would come and give me this nice shot a Demerol that was to get me ready for my rehab. Then I walked down the hall to the rehab department where they put me through stretching exorcises and other procedures to stretch my scar tissue and rehabilitate my muscles. This wasn't as painful as it could have been, because the Demerol worked very well. One thing that was nice about being at the VA, I was allowed a lot more freedom. I could go to the cafeteria and order a cheeseburger or a breakfast if that's what I wanted, which was really nice because the VA food wasn't very special. I really don't want to complain about the food at the VA, but it was nice to have an alternative. What was also nice about being in the VA hospital, was I could go out to town. It had been four months since I was able to see well. After the first week in Valley Medical Center I told the nurses that I was wearing contact lenses and they immediately remove them and since then I couldn't see anything very well, because any glasses I had were destroyed in the fire and then I was unable to see very well for the next four months. My mom took me to an optometrist and I was able to get new glasses, which really helped. That was a major improvement and it was nice to be able to see things clearly again.
