10. Heal quickly. My mother was in the same situation... she would chat with every staff member.

Yesterday

From the aides, to the food delivery ladies, to janitorial staff. "How long have you worked here? Do you have any children? What's the weather like outside? Do you have any plans this weekend? Oh I love your hairstyle! I see you every day and I don't even know your name."

She quickly became the Belle of the Ball and everyone was stopping in to check on her or to just say hello.

Good luck! I hope you're home soon.
