I broke my leg on Jan.7 [View all]

I've been in rehab since then. The rehab facility is in a nursing home. I've been here for three months and I think I'm losing my mind. Nobody to talk to, no privacy and no independence. Thankfully, I should be back home in about a month.
Has anybody else here served a stint in a nursing home?
