Saturday 2/5/22

6:04am I  had  a decent night with some weird dream which I don’t remember. Despite the dreams I  slept well with minimal pain. The aids got me up around 5:30am. They gave me a sponge bath, put me in a clean gown and got me a in my wheelchair. I am not yet alive and kicking but I’m above the dirt.i can’t complain.

I was having some very strange dreams. I was having yet another argument with my father. I don’t remember what we were arguing about but it was a doozy. He was doing most of the yelling. It seems I have a lot of nightmares about my parents. We did not always get along.

I finally manage to calm myself. I did some reading. I read Vineyard of Liberty by James MacGregor Burnes. I read about twenty pages then got sleepy? The battery was going pe  as well. I turned off the tablet and was soon a sleep.

Talked with Chocolatechip on the phone and messenger. She had a good day. Friday night is Bingo night at Overbrook. She talked about the Bitch Clique. She went on about how they treated her at Bingo . The Bitch Clique is running everything now she said. But she still has hopes of being appointed to Resident Advisor when Rose Volpi dies.

She asked about my day. I said I still didn’t get the issue with the credit card resolved. Also, they were supposed to send somebody to help but nobody showed up. I said I’m not worried it. Worrying will only make me sick. I hope I can take care of the issue Monday

I just summed up my evening and early morning. I lead a boring life. It is free of drama for the most part. Besides I don’t have much to do in the nursing home. Consequently, oh don’t have much to write about.  Oh well, things could be worse.

9:56am I just got back from physical therapy. I had a good workout. I did leg exercises. Two sets of fifteen for kicking. side,to side,marching. I also had two stand up. This was the hardest part but I did it. As always I had a lot of trouble with my left leg but I was able to move it today. In addition to leg exercises I had to squeeze a ball with my legs. I must be making progress because I was able to actually do the work without much pain. I’m pleased with myself.

I called Chocolatechip when I got back to my room. I She said for one and her neighbor across the hall. She wants to help people in the bldg who are struggling. We talked about Rick and his dog Chase. He was stuck in the parking lot with his dog. Chocolatechip said he has the friendliest dog. Later on she is going to bake cookies for different people on the building. We ended our conversation when she said she was going to make  second cup of coffee.

I feel pretty good now PT woke me up. What surprised me was it didn’t hurt so bad. I thought I did pretty good today. In fact, I feel good after the little work out.

11:36am I am kind of wound up about my credit card .I called the company and they say I have no credit. I put my entire check into my credit card. $879.00. This is what I put on my card last Thursday. I got to get this straightened out it is driving me crazy from worrying. What makes it even more frustrating is I called the credit card company but cannot hear or understand them..

I am obsessed with this. I tried to read but can’t concentrate because I keep thinking about that damned money. I’m also upset because I couldn’t get help from the nursing home yesterday. They were supposed to send somebody to help me but they never came. I will keep thinking and thinking about this. all weekend .

I’m obsessed with this business with the credit card. All I want is to pay my bills. Why does everything have to be so hard? I’m trying very, very hard not to let this get out of hand. But I’m  afraid it is a lost cause. I will obsess on it until I’m more than half crazy.

Well, I’m having a good lunch. They are serving baked ham, green beans , sweet potato casserole,dinner roll and glazed pears for desert. I already have my drinks of chocolate milk and a fruit punch. It looks like I’m not getting coffee. Bummer
