Monday 10/23/23

7:51a.m. I ended up falling asleep at nine. I had a good night with no weird dreams. I was up at three. The aides got me out of bed at four. Then I slept until six.  I started to have very painful muscle spasms in my left foot.Also arthritis pain in my right foot. The spasms and pain woke me up.

I got a Message from Chococolatechip this. Or in.She was complaining about this one tenant screaming the B word at the top of her voice. This woke her up and went on for five hours The lady doing the screaming is part of the Bitch Clique.  I said that whole crew are nothing but crazy bitches. And I remember getting in trouble for playing my music too loud.

I ate all my breakfast. I had toast, eggs and hot oatmeal cereal. I was a bit depressed because of the pain. Breakfast and d not coffee cheered me up and got me awake. I could use another coffee but that will have to wait until the social. At least I’m above the dirt this morning. Life is good.

But I have been having a bit of a mystery. I think some of my books from my B&N app are missing. I remember buying and reading this one book Sleeping Beauties by Stephen and Owen !ing. It is not in my library. It isn’t in my Kindle Library either. I know I read it and bought it.But it is gone as are other books. Maybe I’m confused I have so many books it is hard to keep track of them.

Speaking of books I got into The Wastelands yesterday. All of the Dark Tower novels are great.  This is the third volume in the series. It is the best so far. I keep going on about Stephen King but I love his writing style. He grabs you by your balls from the first page and you are hooked for life. I hope I get to read more of this wonderful story today. 

I forgot to mention an incident that occurred yesterday. It happened just after the social. I was in my own room minding my own business. This elderly lady walks in and starts trouble. She walks behind my wheelchair and tries to push it forward. I think she wanted to use my phone but I would y let her. Anyways she swats me on the head couple times scaring me to death. I screamed for help and yelled “Get the hell out. My roommate was yelling as well. Finally an aide came to get her. Then I got yelled at for screaming. This place is crazy.

9:57a.m.  I made it to the Coffee Social I had one coffee and a piece of apple strudel. I would love another cup. I’m addicted to caffeine. I can’t get enough especially in the morning. But they only serve one cup at the social  While here I asked staff for the lunch substitute. They were serving ham and pinto beans which I hate. I don’t are what I bet must as long as it isn’t ham and pinto beans.

I’m thinking about staying in the dining room until lunch. I’ve been on my room all weekend. I get tired of being in my room all the time.  It will do me good to get out and be around people. But then there is the incontinence issue. It is so humiliating to have accidents in public. Then I don’t like to be around people smelling like urine or feces. On second thought I think I’ll just go back to my room. 

11:23a.m. It was a good thing I made it back to my room. I had a massive incontinence episode. Luckily, I didn’t have long to wait to get changed. But the aides were not too friendly and they were a bit rough. But they did their job and that what matters. 

I’m in bed for the day. It feels good to be off the Hoyer pad. It seems any more I spend ninety percent the day in bed The aides get me up in the morning. I stay in my wheelchair until after the social. Then I go back to my room get changed and opt to stay in bed for the day. It is more comfortable than sitting on the Hoyer pad.

They will be serving lunch soon. I think I’ll be having a chicken noodle casserole. At least that’s what I’m hoping to have. 

4:43p.m. I ate a big lunch that made me very bloated.Paim level is a five on a one to five scale. I ate a chicken sandwich, potato salad, coleslaw and a piece of cake. This fortunately made me sleepy. I was slept all afternoon. The nurse woke me up with my carafate. I also got a dose of Mylanta.  

This time the Mylanta made it worse. My stomach hurts like hell. Pain level is through the roof.  The bloated feeling has never been this bad before. I got the call light on. I want to talk with a nurse. It’s  been on for awhile now but no help came. This sucks pretty bad. 

I was talking to Chococolatechip. She was bitching about Comcast. They never cashed her money order. She has proof they got it on the 14th. The bill is due tomorrow. Chococolatechip calls and calls. She can’t get to a live voice. But she will file a dispute if they charge a late fee. She said she had about had it with Comcast. They do have lousy customer service. 

It is almost supper. I will skip it tonight. Stomach still hurts but not as bad. Still I think I should give it a rest. I’m not hungry anyways
