Saturday 10/1/22

5:53am I had a decent night. I slept good and you received good care. I was put to bed by 11:30 and wash in my wheelchair by 5:30. I’m doing ok this morning with minimal pain I could use a cup of coffee but will have to wait for breakfast.

I had a nice evening. I read two chatpters in my book The Republic for Which Which it Stands by Richard White. I love this book and cannot speak high  enough of  this author. It is part of the Oxford History of the United States series. Hands down these are the best books on U.S history I ever read.

Speaking of books I don’t know if I could be buying any this month. I also don’t know if I can keep the NYT going. I have plenty of books to read but I will miss the paper. Oh well if this is my only problem I’m truly blessed   I only hope I can keep OD or that really will be a calamity.

I’m just sitting in my wheelchair waiting for coffee. I’m not sleepy or anything so I must of had a good night’s sleep. I have no nightmares or weird dreams to report. I just wish I could have a cup of coffee. This is the one thing I don’t like about the nursing home.I am used to making my own coffee first thing in the morning.

1:01pm I had a coffee cake, hash browns land scrambled eggs for breakfast. For drinks I had three cups of hot coffee and chocolate milk. Breakfast must of made me more sleepy because I slept most of the morning anyway. 

I did talk with Chocolatechip around nine. She wasn’t doing uvery well. She was up and down all night. Then she was in a lot of pain. Chocolatechip said she did too much yesterday and drank too much coffee. We didn’t talk very long.We were both falling asleep.

Lady from activities woke me up. She wanted to know if I needed anything. I kspoke up above it the phone not working. I said I can’t hear it ringing and miss half the calls. She check anged edh the volume controls and they were up all the way. I said I still cannot hear the phone ring. She said she will check into it. 

I went back to sleep after she left. I was awakened when they served drinks for lunch. The coffee was barely warm but I drank it anyways. I managed to stay awake until they served lunch. I had sausage, peppers and onions, broccoli, pan fried potatoes and a dinner roll. I think I am up for good.

 7:23pm I had a good afternoon. I managed to stay awake and read my book. I read in the dinning room area because my roommate was sleeping. I read partcof Chapter 15 “Reform” over and over again because it was so interesting. I was out of my room for about ninety minutes. I went back to my room around four and promptly peerdcmyself.

I talked with Chocolatechip before suppwr. Then they served inner. I had a Turkey club sandwich, pasta salad and vegetable soup. The coffee was barely warm but I drank it anyway. Afterwards I talked with Chocolatechip on the phone and on Messenger. We had a nice conversation.

I had a lot of episodes during dinne Igr time. They had the call light tangled up in the bed. I had a hard time reaching it. I !managed to ring the light two hrs ago. I am still waiting and I am not going soaked. So my care has not been all that great this afternoon.

Other than that my afternoon wasn’t that bad. I enjoyed talking to Chocolatechip and reading my book. Again I got lost in history and forgot about my financial problems. Thank God for Chocolatechip and my books.

Well I’m going back to my book The Republic for Which it Stands. I want to finish chapter 15 tonight.
