6:29p.m. This was one of the shittiest days of my life.  I was very sick with a bad cold. Symptoms included a very bad headache, coughing. sneezing and nqzal drainage. In addition I was very weak and tired.  I Slept most of the day away. I still feel very tired and weak.

I’m also very mad at the nursing home. I didn’t get Betty good care today. Then the reason why I got so sick was they kept the fan on. I asked them to turn it off several times. But for some reason they insist on keeping my room very cold . Cold air kept blowing on me and this was whyi got so sick.?

I also had a very very long day. Aide came in around 5 this morning. He was not too gentle. He pushed my bad leg when he rolled me over to change me. But he got me out of bed and in my wheelchair by 5:30. Then he left the place a mess and I had to move things around so they could be within reach

So my day didn’t start out good and it got worse. I had several incontinence episodes. I had to wait a good long time before they changed my briefs. I think I got changed twice. So I was sitting in urine most of the day. But i was at the point where I just did not care.

They finally turned off the air towards supper. My room is a bit warmer now. I’m just as sick but at least I’m not freezing my butt off. I hope tonight will be better.

11:38p.m. The aides finally put me in bed. I’ve been bin that blasted wheelchair for over 18 hrs. I’m just too tired to be mad. This is a shitty end to a very shitty day. Life is not good sometimes. Sometimes it sucks.

I slept in my wheelchair most of the night. I’m still tired. in addition I feel very weak. I think I will be up most of the night. I’m a bit mad and wound up. This will keep me from sleeping. Oh well it’s not like I got to run Follansbee tomorrow. The world will survive if I sleep during the day.
