Monday 10/3/22
10:01am I was up and in my chair by 4:30. I slept in my wheelchair until breakfast? I had the usual with French toast. The coffee was barely warm but I drank it anyways.
I also talked with Chocolatechip about my treatment yesterday. She was very upset. She reported the nurse’s ing home to an adult protective agency. We went over the details of her phone conversation. I said they might put me in a different facility. I said I don’t care at this point.
I made a payment to Credit One of $167. I bought a couple books from Amazon. Then I left enough money in for a NYT payment. I have just enough money in checking to pay the nursing home $583.00it I
I think I mentioned this bit no more physical therapy. I feel bad one cause I liked going to the gym and doing the exercises. It was a big part of my daily routine. Now all I do all day is sit on my lazy butt and read.
12:18pm I did not have a very good morning. I had a couple accidents and have not been changed. They have the call light out if reach. Hell, I cannot find it. I called the front desk . The sadd they would send someone down but nobody came to help. So , once again, I’ve been sitting in urine all morning.
This is the second day in the row of lousy care. I feel very depressed about all this. I’ve been sleeping all morning. I don’t feel like doing much else.
3:21pm I wanted to make sure the nursing home got their rent. I called billing after lunch. The girl was about to use my old credit card. I was pissed but I politely reminded her I made arrangements take checking last month?. I gave them the name of the bank. routing number and everything they needed? It was a good thing I called.
I finally got changed around three. Aides were fairly new. At least this was the first time I had them. But I’ve been sitting in poop and urine all day it just is not right. Social worker is not in today but I will tell her about this tomorrow.
One good thing was lunch. I had beef lasagna and a tossed salad . Lunch didn’t perk me up though I feel like I just got off a ten hr shift at Eagles. I’m so tired and sore and depressed.
4:34pm I readly lost it this far afternoon. I wento to the front desk to complain about what is going on. I was cussing and yelling about how my call light has been out of reach. I especially yelled about how I’ve been sitting in feces and urine all day. The brick that broke my back was seeing feces on the floor.
Nurse was just in. She found the call light. She also cleaned up the mess on the floor. I shouldn’ have to get to that point but I got results. I guess the squeeky wheel does get the greese.
I feel a bit better. At least I’m cleaned up and living in a cleaner environment. I also calmed down a bit. I don’t like losing my temper but you can only take so much.
8:19pm I had two egg salad sandwiches, vegetable soup and beats for supper. Everything was good exception the beats. I can’t stand the smell of them let alone the taste. I also drank two cups of barely warm coffee and a fruit punch.
I talked with Chocolatechip for a long time after supper. I was still a bit upset but she helped me defuse. We talked foruntil eight about different things. Schwann’s truck is coming to OT tomorrow. Chocolatechip said she will buy a for items to tide 🌊 her over until her trip to Walmart. I askedj if she had anything to eat today. She had am tuna salad sandwiche.
I was also looking at the books I bought today. I bought two books by Paul Johnson A History of the American People and A History of Christianity. I also bought Landslide by Michael Wolfe. Then I preorderefa book by John Grisham The Boys from Biloxi. This will be available on October 18. I will probably buy one more book tomorrow by Maggie Haberman Confidence Man. It’s about Donald Trump. I will have plenty of reading material.
I’m sorry to say I have not been reading the last couple of days. There have been too much crap going on in regards to my lack of care. Also, it is hard to concentrate when you’re sitting in urine and feces all day. and generally mad at the world.
It is almost 9:00pm. I’ve been in this wheelchair since 4;30 That is over 16 hrs. I’m ready for bed but something tells me the aides will keep me up late tonight.
