I'm to go to a full-service nursing home for one month after surgery that looks like a combination of a fully-fledged hospital room with all the disability related accommodations meets a condominium.

The facility has 24 hour administrative in nursing staff, a beautiful view from the roof, cardiac rehab, a gym, places to walk inside and outside the building, three cooked meals a day, a small kitchen closet, a hospital style bed in a massive bathroom that's completely set up for disabled people. They've also got sofas and couches there for guests who want to sleep overnight with you. Since I don't drive and I don't have a car any hospital visits I need to do I'll just have them stick me in a taxi. I'm a bit picky about food as I'm plant-based you know full vegan eater so I'll try to fill the place up with my own food supplements 5 minutes medication and drag everything the hospital directly there along with books clothing. I could always order food from vegan restaurants or from grocery stores and have the staff cook it.

My concern is after I get back home which would be about 5 1/2 weeks after surgery I'm still worried about the glass door on my balcony that also leads to my kitchen that goes outside. I'm thinking I can just probably open it with my feet slide it back and forth with my feet

The bigger concern is to access the Elevator Shaft there's heavy heavy heavy glass doors one of them it's really tricky to get in and out of it because it only gives you a second to stick a foot in there the other one not so bad also sometimes people leave the doors open. The one on the bottom floor everybody uses so you could just wait around for somebody but the one on my floor sometimes it could be really a long wait for somebody to open up the door we don't have stairs unless there's a fire and I'm on the 7th floor. Most of the buildings in Thailand have lots of glass doors because thousands of people live in these buildings. I'm not going to go live in a house or a town home so that's not an option. So I'm worried about when I get home how am I going to cook buy groceries get in and out of these glass doors I'm assuming by 5 and 1/2 Weeks I can get in and out of a taxi solo.

Just want to confirm I'm not counting on anybody I'm constantly fighting with my girlfriend and I think we're going to be ending soon. When I do the surgery I may have another girlfriend or girlfriend :) it's Thailand so it's not that hard to get a girlfriend or many girlfriends. I do have a lot of friends and in my current building a lot of neighbors so hopefully some of them will pitch in for me. I'm planning on getting a minimal incision and I'm a fitness fanatic go to the gym walk ride bikes and do heavy weight lifting every single day so I think I'll recover pretty quickly.

Thanks for listening everybody and I hope you guys are having a beautiful beginning of the week

with blessings David
