The Recovery Village Palmer Lake

I was awakened at 330am and informed that an ambulance was en route, because my oxygen levels were dangerously low. No surprise there. I'd been there 48 hours after an extended meth binge, and I'd been moved to residential status the previous day. I am sixty three years old and last year had a quadruple bypass, open heart surgery and came to the facility with both a stationary and a portable oxygen accumulator. So to me, none of this was a surprise, though I will admit that I have difficulty reattaching my oxygen in the state that I was in. So I'm sure a nurse would have been a good idea nearby under the circumstances. I was pretty bummed about going to the hospital since my numbers come right back up when the oxygen is on. But I can understand that they need to cover their ass. However, they also made it clear that I wouldn't be accepted back because of this difficulty. That bothered me more because none of this was a secret. I told them all about it from the initial call until I showed up with all my equipment and clothes. I did not meet a single person on the patient end of things that I could say a harsh word about. I made it to one group, and I could tell that I would probably really like this place. However, the business office or whoever handles that crap really screwed me over. It is 2 days later and I still have not received my medication, which I assumed would be overnighted. Everything the hospital that they sent me to gave me was in that bag. All the hospital gave me was a strong diuretic, which is exactly identical till the diuretic, that was in my medications. I will call my doctor now and try to get them all refilled since, they're obviously not going to show up today either. So if you've got health concerns, maybe this isn't the place. Although the nursing staff were all great. I liked the people here. I was motivated to recover. From my own history. I know that's all that's necessary. I am terminally ill to begin with. So to me, it's a question of how I want to spend the rest of my life. If someone asked me whether I thought they should go to recovery village or not. I would say, go for it. But my story reflects the realities of the business of recovery. Hopefully, there are sufficient numbers of people whose stories reflect the reality of the miracle of recovery. I'm disappointed and truly sad that I cannot be among the latter.
