Saturday 1/29/22

5:20am I am up but still in bed. I have a bad case of diahreà. I had a pretty good night until I got the runs. I think it was from the peanut butter and jelly sandwich I had last night? I wanted to get out of bed today but the aids said do you think it’s a good idea with you pooping? So it looks like I will be in bed all day.

I had some nice aids last night and this morning. My only problem was they put me through o bed too late. But they did da good job in the morning. They cleaned me up and put a clean gown on me. I can’t complain about the care I’m getting.

What is the use of complaint anyway? After all I’m not the only resident in this facility. They must of been busy and short staffed. Complaining iand bitching onLy brings out negative emotions.it is better to keep a positive attitude and learn to take the good with the bad.

I try to keep it positives and I don’t mean to bitch about this place all the time.it is very hard when you are dealing with more or less constant pain. Still it is better to keep it positives. I read somewhere that a good attitude will have a positive effect on your overall health.

Life Is Too short to be miserable. Might as we well make the best of things and stay happy. Under almost any circumsances it is good to be above the dirt.

My spirits are high despite having the runs. Arthritis pain is down to a two. I only had one incontinence episode so far. I got good care and the aids were nice. I could use a nice cup of hot coffee. But I will have to wait until breakfast for coffee. Life is good.

1:06pm i slept most of the morning. Nurse gave me some meds for diahreà and that did the trick. But it seem I go to pot whenever I stay in bed. Arthritis pain was bad. I would get very bad muscle spasms in my that hurt like the Dickens. This was the main problem Second problem was being so tired. This was why I slept.

I had chicken and dumplings for lunch and carrots for lunch. It was good and I ate most of it. I was afraid to eat lunch for fear it would make me sick. Hunger conquered my fear.i had fruit punch and coffee. I didn’t drink the coffee because I would spill it all over me.

Talked with Chocolatechip. She watched a movie this morning Hollywood Madam. Then she was expecting a package from Walter Drake. It was delivered. She went down to get it and no package. I said it is probably in with the office mail. She was also working on a budget. She is trying to figure out how to buy a back pack from another catalog next month.

My budget for February is pretty simple. Most important in the co-payment to the nursing home of $483.00. Then I’m buying another tablet for 129 something. I plan to spend $123 something on books then I will be broke again. Oh well I have everything else covered. It is all good.

I talked with some lady from physical therapy this morning. She wanted me to do a session. I told her I was sick. Too bad. I haven’t heard from her since.vi wonder if my session was cancelled. I kind of hoping it was cancelled.im afraid I might have an accident in their gym.

Well I am doing good this afternoon. I can’t complain

6:47pm I had a cheeseburger and fries for supper. It was ok. I have didn’t drink coffee. I cant drink coffee while lying in bed. I get it all over me.

So much for being positive. I ended up having a shitty afternoon. I felt li.ke hell and was very depressed. Arthritis pain caused these bad feelings. I was getting a lot of muscle spasms, one right after another. I’d rate the pain level a five. Also, didn’t do any reading today. This contributed to my overall shitty mood. Plus it is no fun being in bed all day. Never thought I would miss my wheelchair.

Like I said I feel very depressed. I just felt like a miserable old fart who pees himself I hope tomorrow will be better.
