Help! I'm stuck in a nursing home! [View all]


I broke my leg a few weeks ago, so now I'm in rehab in a nursing home. I don't know when I'll be able to go back home. (I live alone). I don't mean to sound insensitive, but most of the people on my floor have dementia and I can't find anyone to talk to. I did spot someone who was wearing a shirt with the Obama logo so I started a conversation. He told me all about the Apocalypse. Crap!
The physical therapy is good, but I'd like to hear from people with clear minds. (And don't forget the sympathy. Please feel sorry for me.) Thanks!
