Saturday 3/26/22

7:51am I had ~~another~~ lousy night. I had the same old problems, incontinence episodes and ~~arthriiti~~ pain. Arthritis was very bad and kept me from sleeping. I wasn’t put in bed until after eleven last night. The aids came in at five. I was already up anyways. They were nice. They cleaned me up and put me in a clean gown. I fell asleep in my wheelchair until breakfast.

Oh last night I had a talk with my nurse. I said there was another incident with the male aid.She said she talked with him but will have another chat. I said at this point I’m afraid to use the call !ight. She said don’t get like that. She also said in the future I do not have to have him and could demand someone else. I think that would be the best solution.

I had a so so breakfast. I had scrambled eggs, toast and hot cereal without sugar. I must have been hungry because I ate everything. The coffee was nice and hot. I asked for two but got one cup and a glass of oj. It wasn’t my favorite breakfast but it was good. I can’t complain about the food. Or the care except for that one asshole.

I talked with Chocolatechip after breakfast. She slept in until 6:30. I told her about talking to the nurse and the solution we came up with. She seemed to be in good spirits. We talked around the subject of that guy seeing her last night. She said she will tell me more on messenger.

I feel fairly good right now. I’m not in pain, that’s the big thing. More important I’m above the dirt. I’m blessed with another day in the nursing home.

10:28am I just finished chatting with Chocolatechip. She was talking about this new guy Glenn. He was the one who came for a visit last night. Glenn turned out to be very bad news For one thing he is a big time alcoholic. Chocolatechip said he brings in a lot of beer. Then he is a Bible thumper. He just broke up with hi gf. She is a registered nurse who came to Chocolatechip’s door asking for meds. Chocolatechip refuses to play that kind of shit.

I said the last thing you need is to get involved faith an alcoholic. They both sound like big time trouble. I also said this is already starting out to be a one sided friendship. She agreed with that assessment. She also said she does not want to get hurt. She has been hurt too many times by people in OT. I said now you know why I stayed to myself in that hellhole. It was because of all the low life scumbags.

We talked about OT. I said he lets anyone move into that place. I also said OT is going down the tubes. She said she heard FPI is a shit show. They have animals who shit in the elevator. Nobody bothers to clean up the mess. I said that used to be a nice place when I lived there. She said she heard some stories about it when out yesterday

Chocolatechip said she is going to take it easy this weekend. She only has a couple loads of laundry to do. She is ready. I said I knew you could do it. She said she couldn’t of done it without the help of her caregiver.She said one of the secretaries told her that her place is always ready for inspection. I told her you are an emaculate housekeeper and will pass with flying colors.

That was it for our chat session. I’m kind of glad she isn’t getting involved too much with that guy it seems everyone who moves into that hellhole is trouble. Chocolatechip had been hurt by those low lives countless and countless of times. She cannot take much more pain, hurt or drama from those people. I was. Kind of worried last night but I think she will be ok.

3:33pm I am not having a good day. I had a couple inconvenience episodes after lunch. They just now changed me. I peed myself again just as soon as they left. Also, I felt so tired. I slept in my wheelchair I almost all afternoon. I talked with Chocolatechip. I told her about my lack of care and how tired I was . We also talked about this Glenn guy. He seems to be bad news all the way around. I’m glad she is not going to get too involved. We cut our chat session short because an aid finally came to change my briefs.

I don’t feel so good physically. My stomach hurts. I think it was something I ate from lunch.Lets see. I had a glazed potato with gravy, blended veggies,parslied potatoes and a dinner roll. I had jello for desert. For drinks it was hot coffee with two glasses of fruit punch. It must of been the gravy. Gravy goesnt always agree with me.

I tried to read my book The Fox and the Lion by James Macgregor Burns. i read the first page in chapter three. The author talked about the election of 1912 and how Roosevelt supported Woodrow Wilson. As a reward Roosevelt was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy I didn’t get very far in my book. I was so k and couldn’t focus. Sick both physically and mentally. I’ll try to pick it up again after supper.

9:00omi I didn’t eat all my supper. I managed to down the turkey sandwich and pineapple crisp. I could not to the veggies for some reason. I didn’t read at all today? I was ni feeling well at all. I started to experience pain in my left side. I I slept in my chair a lot. Then I couldn’t take it any longer I asked to be put to bed. Low and behold I’m in bed. I hope I sleep tonight? I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
