Thursday 11/9/23

9:58 a.m. The aides woke me up at five today. They dressed me and got me in my wheelchair. I didn’t sleep well because of weird dreams So i slept in my wheelchair until they served drinks and breakfast. Breakfast consisted of biscuits and gravy with hot oatmeal cereal.

I talked with Chococolatechip after I ate. She was in good spirits. We didn’t talk too long.She wanted to get started on housework. I must of been very tired because I went back to sleep. In fact I almost didn’t make it to the coffee social I woke up at 9:40.

I had to come down without oxygen. I couldn’t find an aide to hook up a tank. I should be ok. I don’t feel short of breath I went without oxygen before and lived. I won’t stay too long today. If I have trouble I’ll just go back to my room.

2:23p.m. I’m not having a very good day. Breakfast didn’t agree with me. I passed gas all morning and it was very painful. Also I didn’t last too long at the Coffee Social. I started to get short of breath. I needed help in getting back to my room the lunch didn’t Agree with me. I had pasta with meat sauce. This gave me very painful gas.

I feel a bit better now. I’m in bed. I didn’t haven’t wait too long for help. Aides were good They got me undressed, cleaned me up and changed my briefs. It felt so good to be off that Hoyer pad! Also, my stomach seems to have settled down. I hope to enjoy the rest of the day and read my book. Life is good.

7:36p.m. I read until supper. I had a big plate of spaghetti with meat sauce. I shouldn’t of eaten it because it made me sick. Now I’ve been laying in urine and feces since supper. I had the call light on twice. I got yelled at because the aide was taking care of trays. I’m soaked but probably will not get changed until morning.

Overall this has been a shitty day.Meals I had didn’t agree with me. I passed gas and had very painful bm all day long. To make things worsening sat in shot and pea half the time. Then the hoyer pad was killing me. I only hope tomorrow will be better.
